What is the PTA?

The Whittier PTA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit local unit organized under the authority of the Illinois PTA, a branch of the National PTA. Our mission and commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion reflects the guidance and best practices of the National and IL State PTA. 

Our PTA is run by volunteers. Membership fees go toward our IL PTA state dues, DirectorySpot costs (the PTA’s online school directory) and all of the amazing events, programs and services we organize for teachers, students, parents and families! HERE is our budget with more details.

Everything we do supports our mission.

PTA Membership quick facts:

• All are Welcome – Moms, Dads, Parent(s), Guardian(s), etc.
• You do not need to volunteer to be a Member.

Although we are grateful to those who can/do! We love our volunteers!
