&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;To support and speak on behalf of children and youth in the
schools, in the community and before governmental bodies and other
organizations that make decisions affecting children.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;To rein the standards of home life by assisting parents in
developing the skills they need to raise and protect their children. &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;To encourage parent and public involvement in the public schools
of this nation.
