Your Voice Matters. Use It.

Phi Theta Kappa members are leaders who can advocate to make a difference for community college students, their campuses, and their communities. The PTK Advocacy Center is where members, advisors, chapters, and regions can learn about and take part in PTK’s advocacy efforts, which support our mission to recognize academic achievement and provide opportunities to grow as scholars and leaders.

Use the PTK Advocacy Center to:

  • Protect the Pell Grant by contacting your legislators with ready-to-use templates.
  • Get out the vote by hosting voter education events on your campus.
  • Build your advocacy skills with PTK’s Advocacy EdgeTM and the Advocacy Resource Library.
