Social Media Resources

National PTA Social Media Resources

Please note that some of the links below may not be accessible until you CREATE YOUR PROFILE at PTA.org.
PTA Branding
We want to deliver a consistent, clear and uniform presence for all PTA-produced materials.  When used properly, the National PTA logo and tagline help unify all PTAs and create awareness of the PTA brand.  Applied consistently, these guidelines will create distinctive, credible and sustainable messaging for all supporting PTA units, resulting in the organization working as one association with one voice.


#PTAProud
So, what's your PTA story?  Every PTA member has a story to tell.  It’s more than the bake sale.  It’s about our children.  #PTAProud shines light on our PTA community and how they are making a difference for their schools and communities through involvement in the PTA.  These #PTAProud stories will help us to raise awareness of the significance of PTA involvement as well as spotlight the critical work members are and have been doing that is making a difference for the education, health, safety and well-being of all children. 


Whether it’s through a photo on Facebook or Instagram, a video, or a tweet, there are many ways to share your story.  Visit http://PTA.org/PTAProud to share your PTA story, to access the toolkit, or to view videos from PTA members from across the country and around the world.  We want to recognize our #PTAProud stories and know how PTA has impacted your family and the lives of children in your community!


PTA Social Media
Social media is a powerful tool for individuals to join together, share content and ideas, and engage in open conversation.  In order for social media to be successful, PTAs must be committed to supporting honest, transparent and knowledgeable dialogue.  Social media can be used for a variety of reasons over a multitude of channels.  For PTAs, social media is well-suited to:
  • Share information that is relevant to your members’ needs and interest.
  • Raise awareness of education and child-related issues and support advocacy efforts and partner initiatives.
  • Generate interest in and participation in your PTA events, programs and initiatives.
This page will teach you about the different social media platforms, how to deal with negative comments, and provide you with a sample social media policy to help establish your PTA’s online boundaries.


Social Media and Communications Resources
This page gives you access to official PTA logos, style guides, social media tip sheets, a communications quick reference guide, and more!


Where Social Media and PTA Advocacy Collide
Social media is a powerful tool that is changing the way people absorb information, mobilize for advocacy, and raise awareness about issue campaigns.  Research shows that more than 90% of people trust peer recommendations, but only 33% trust messages from brands and organizations.  This is the power of social media, where networks are comprised of friends, family, community, and connections, which allows organizations to amplify a singular message and spread it quickly.  This page will teach you about:
  • Getting Started
  • Building PTA Awareness
  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Dealing with Negative Comments
  • Interactions with Elected or Appointed Officials
