Tegloma Minnesota Chapter joined the Federation in the year 2000, but has in that short time contributed immensely to the activities of the Federation. Currently the Federation Financial Secretary and Assistant Financial Secretary are both from Tegloma Minnesota. In the last Federation government, the Federation Vice Chairman and the Federation Board Secretary General were both from Tegloma Minnesota. The last President of the Tegloma Midwest Coalition was also from Tegloma Minnesota.

Currently Tegloma Minnesota Chapter members provide social support to each other in periods of celebrations and bereavement, engage in activities to encourage the education of members children, and have a charity project (Tegloma Minnesota Aid Project-TEMAP) which provides educational assistance to schools chosen at random in Sierra Leone. The organization is also a leading promoter of Sierra Leone indigenous culture in the diaspora.
