Message from the Chapter President

Welcome to the United Federation of Fil-Am Educators (UNIFFIED) New Jersey Chapter!

As Chapter President, it is my great honor to welcome you to our online community, a space where diverse voices come together with a shared purpose and commitment to service.

UNIFFIED New Jersey is founded on the principles of inclusion, collaboration, and collective leadership. We proudly represent educators and professionals from various fields who are united by a common goal: to foster a supportive environment that values every individual’s voice and contribution. We believe that diversity strengthens our perspectives, enriches our work, and allows us to better serve our members and the communities we represent.

At the heart of our mission is a strong dedication to education and humanitarian service. We work to uplift Filipino American educators while extending meaningful support to humanitarian initiatives that serve marginalized communities in the Philippines. Through advocacy, partnership, and action, we aim to create lasting impact rooted in equity, compassion, and social responsibility.

We invite you to explore our website, engage with our programs, and take part in our initiatives. Whether you are an educator, healthcare professional, community leader, or student, there is a place for you at UNIFFIED New Jersey. Together, we can champion equity, amplify voices, and build pathways for positive change.

Thank you for visiting us. I look forward to journeying with you as we grow, advocate, and serve together.

Warm regards,
