New Jersey PTA recognizes the need to hold Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the forefront of our work to represent and advocate for all children. Our collective backgrounds, perspectives, and ideas allow us to create the strongest future and direction for PTA and help us make every child’s potential a reality.
The resources on this page can help you learn about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion issues, discuss these topics in your community and take action to more effectively serve ALL children and families, with a focus on historically marginalized and underrepresented populations.
Tools to Turn Your Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion into Action
Start your DEI journey in three steps! First, reflect on who in your community is represented in the PTA and who is missing. Second, reach out and start talking with your community. The facilitator’s guide empowers leaders to start conversations with people with who they have struggled to engage. Third, use the DEI action plan template to develop steps to become more inclusive.
