Transform your passion into policy. Your voice into change. Your advocacy into action.
The mission of the California State PTA is to positively impact the lives of all children and families. As the largest volunteer advocacy association working exclusively on behalf of all children, we invite you to join fellow PTA advocates in California’s capital for two transformative days of legislative training and direct advocacy.
This isn’t just a conference—it’s your opportunity to become part of the solution. Every child deserves safety, health, and educational excellence. Every family deserves a voice in the policies that shape their future.
