Advocating for Great Schools

PTO Roundtable

The PTO Roundtable is a vibrant, solutions-focused community of PTO/PTA leaders from Baltimore City schools. We come together to share ideas, tackle challenges, and build stronger school communities across the district. From increasing parent engagement and volunteer capacity to addressing funding, enrollment, and accountability, our discussions are practical and impactful.

We meet virtually on the first Thursday of every month during the school year—so it’s easy to join from anywhere. And here’s the best part: if your PTO/PTA attends at least four meetings, you’ll qualify to receive a $250 donation to support your work.

Ready to get started? Just fill out the form below to join our mailing list and get the invite for our meetings.

We’d love to have you at the table—and we’re excited to work with you to build stronger schools for all Baltimore families.

Adopt-a-Family

Are you looking for a meaningful way to give back during the holiday season? If so, sign up to participate in Baltimore Family Alliance’s annual Adopt-a-Family program.

For many local families struggling just to make ends meet, the luxury of purchasing gifts for their children during the holiday season simply does not exist. That’s where the Adopt-a-Family program steps in. Baltimore Family Alliance works with city schools to identify families in need and matches them with families looking to give back. Over the years—and due to the overwhelming generosity of Baltimore families like yours!— the Adopt-a-Family program has been able to provide clothing, toys and support to over 1,500 families in need and counting!

Supporting Local Schools

In addition to the efforts above, Baltimore Family Alliance supports Baltimore City Public Schools through various initiatives, including:

  • School supply drives

  • Teacher lounge makeovers

  • Promoting events for public schools (submit yours here!)

…and more! We are always looking for additional schools to partner with for all of the efforts listed on this page. If you have information on a potential partner school (contact person at the school, needs of the students, etc.), please contact us:
