As Director of Capacity Building and Impact for Boston Centers for Youth & Families, Ellen Bass equips staff to advance the impact and mission of BCYF in the community. Toward that end, she engages staff to design and implement a program quality framework with an equity lens at the organization and site levels, to measure and learn from data that tells about youth and family progress, and to engage our work in the community with increasing skill and commitment. Prior to BCYF, Ellen has worked for decades to improve youth outcomes, in direct service and intermediary organizations, by strengthening staff, programs, and organizational capacity. For 15 years, she led the Boston Capacity Tank at the Black Ministerial Alliance of Greater Boston, which raised and redistributed more than $10 million in grants and capacity-building services to nonprofit youth agencies in Boston.
