It’s a guy thing! Dads, stepdads, grandfathers and male caregivers all play a big role in our kids’ future success.
MEN PLAY A STRONG ROLE IN KIDS’ SUCCESS
When men actively participate in children’s education, it leads to better grades and higher attendance. Plus men’s participation contributes to creating healthy school climates and – in the long run – increased likelihoods of college attendance.
Men have been a part of the PTA from our beginning a century ago, and men must continue to be involved in the next century and beyond if our kids – and our future – will truly be successful.
Contact your local PTA to find out more about joining and getting involved. And find out more about how PTA is reaching out to men throughout the country.

California State PTA speaks up for children across the state, and you can too!
This is a unique, small-scale event offering a chance to meet and network with other advocates from across the state who are interested in learning more about key issues affecting children, youth, and families. Spend two days participating in learning activities and hearing from legislative leaders and experts on issues you care about. The two days culminate with an opportunity to advocate directly with your state legislators and staff in their offices. Save the date: Monday, February 2*, and Tuesday, February 3, 2026, in Sacramento!
Details: Registration for LegCon26 will open in October of 2025. There is no increase in registration pricing from the previous year to encourage better PTA member participation. A discount hotel link will be provided (for a limited time). *The event will officially begin on Monday, February 2, 2026 (estimated start time: 8:30 am), but for anyone who arrives on Sunday, there is a free networking session from 5-7 pm at the Embassy Suites.
