Get Involved

UFT members are involved in the life of the union at every level, and the more active they are, the stronger our union is. Whether it’s opposing budget cuts or school closings, working with community partners or organizing to make sure special ed students get the services they’re entitled to, the union is fighting for our children, our schools and our members. Find out here about the many campaigns and initiatives in which we are involved.

Raise the Bar

We want to make sure that students with IEPs are not just getting the services they are mandated to get, but actually getting the support they need to succeed.

UFT Committees

The UFT Professional Committees seek to actively engage members in professional growth through activities such as conferences, seminars, workshops, educational trips, newsletters and professional recognition.

UFT ACTS

Schools work best when educators are respected and when they are included in program and policy planning. That’s why the UFT is helping charter educators who want a union.
