Leadership Roles | PTA Student Leadership
Flexible Student Roles for Every Level of Commitment
Whether your PTA/PTSA is just starting out or expanding its board, there are many ways to structure student involvement.
1. Executive Board Positions (Voting Members)
Preserving voting seats on your Executive Board gives students a direct say in key decisions.
​
-
Executive Historian: An ideal, non-treasury role that allows students to document events, manage archives, and share the year's story.
​​
-
Communications / Social Media Chair: Students lead modern outreach efforts to keep the student body and families informed.
2. Assistant / Partner Positions (Non-Voting or Mentored)
-
Student-Assistant Officers: Students shadow adult officers (e.g., Student Financial Reviewer or Assistant Hospitality VP) to learn various responsibilities and meeting structure without legal liability.
-
Student-Parent Committee Partners: Pair student chairs with adult mentors for guidance on roles like Reflections Chair or Honorary Service Award Chair.
3. Student-Created & Specialty Chair Positions
Let students design roles around their passions rather than forcing them into traditional boxes!
