Outreach: 5 reasons why it matters

9/14/2012

0 Comments

 
Believe it or not, some leaders don't feel we need to Outreach to our
communities. Here are 5 reasons I feel so strongly that we do:
 
Reason #5
The reality of our nation and the world is that we are becoming more and more diverse. And K-12 enrollment has mirrored this diversity.

Reason #4
Since 2000, Washington's minority populations have grown rapidly - our
Hispanic population has increased by 71%, our Asian population has increased by 49%, and those identifying themselves as Multi-Racial have increased by 41%.
 
Reason #3
WSPTA's Outreach is focused on serving those who have differences in age, culture, economic status, educational background, ethnicity, gender geographic location, legal status, marital status, mental ability, national origin, organizational position, parental status, physical ability political philosophy, race, religion, sexual orientation and work experience.

Reason #2
One of WSPTA's objective is "Increase, retain and diversify our
membership".
 
Reason #1
National PTA's mission is "To make every child's potential a reality by
engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children". We cannot accomplish our mission if we are not reaching EVERY family!
