Teach for America has announced new plans to form a unified New Jersey corps. Currently, corps members in New Jersey are assigned to one of two base camps. Those who teach in Camden are part of the Greater Philadelphia region, and those who teach in Newark and Trenton are part of the Greater Newark region. 

The two leaders of the regions, Yolonda Marshall of the Philadelphia-based group and Fatimah Burnam-Warkins of the Newark-based group, will work together to combine the two regions, which will be fully operational in Fall 2014.  In the interim, all TFA members who teach in NJ will be managed by the Greater Newark region.

Currently,  the Newark-based TFA headquarters deploys 166 teachers among 52 public schools. The Greater Philadelphia region  comprises 252 corps members, with some portion of them in Camden.
