Diversity and Inclusion Toolkit

Building a More Diverse, Equitable & Inclusive PTA

An organization that recognizes diversity values differences and similarities among people through its actions and accountability. These characteristics include age, ethnicity, gender, language and culture, socioeconomic status, among many different things.

When PTAs respect differences yet acknowledge shared commonalities uniting their communities, and then develop meaningful priorities based upon their knowledge, they genuinely represent their communities. When PTAs represent their communities, they gain strength and effectiveness through increased volunteer and resource support.

The primary goal of the Diversity and Inclusion committee is to ensure that each Massachusetts PTA unit is an open and inclusive group.

We will support, expand, and improve methods of communication and connection to new and existing local units to increase participation by underrepresented segments of membership in order to increase diversity within MA PTA at both the State and Local level.
