What is Advocacy?

​

PTA advocacy is supporting and speaking up for children—in schools, in communities, and before government bodies and other organizations that make decisions affecting children. 

​

HCC PTA is committed to assisting in your advocacy efforts—there is power in united voices.  Examples of advocacy:  

​

• Discuss a topic of importance to your school with leaders 

• Host an educational event at your school on an issue

• Attend a school board meeting

• Work to implement strong family engagement policies 

• Write a letter to the editor
