PTAlink’s mission is to improve the quality of education for all children in the New York City public school system by making parent organizations stronger and more effective.

You can make a difference in your child's school or in the wider education system. There are many ways to be a leader as a NYC public school parent. 

What does it take to run a PA/PTA? Officers have specific obligations but members play important roles as well. Understanding what's involved can help your PA/PTA be effective and operate smoothly.

Many PA/PTAs contribute to their schools by creating community-building activities, student enrichment programs, and events for families.

While PA/PTAs are not obligated to raise money, there are many creative options for those groups that choose to collect funds to improve schools and enrich students’ education.
