Kelly serves as Managing Director, Leadership Equity of United Way of Greater Philadelphia, and Southern New Jersey (UWGPSNJ) but is best described as our Nonprofit Expert, having worked in a variety of nonprofit organizations for over 35 years. Kelly is responsible for developing and leading strategies to advance racial equity across the region’s philanthropic sector. He will focus on the design and implementation of a centralized hub to offer best-in-class knowledge and resources, research and data, and collaborative strategies to promote leadership advancement, equitable grant making, and inclusive decision-making.
Prior to joining UWGPSNJ, Kelly served as Executive Director for After School All Stars Philadelphia and Camden, a regional comprehensive after-school provider, for 5 years. During his tenure at ASAS P&C, Kelly led the chapter’s expansion into Camden, New Jersey; increased the number of program sites from three to 13; and solidified funding. For over 35 years, Kelly has been committed to creating access to opportunities for all people of color. While at PRIME, Inc, Kelly coordinated and managed a math and science-based pre-college program for over 250 Black and Latino high school students from Philadelphia and Camden, New Jersey.
Inspired by his experience at PRIME, Inc, Kelly transitioned to the Franklin Institute where he created the museum’s first STEM program targeting youth of color. In addition, Kelly equitably engaged several communities of color and Black and Latino professional organizations in developing and delivering STEM enrichment to Black and Brown students. One of the communities Kelly partnered with while at FI was South Philadelphia’s historic Point Breeze neighborhood. Impressed by its powerful cultural dynamic, Kelly then took the helm of the Eighteenth Street Development Corporation and led housing rehabilitation work while also spearheading the community’s first neighborhood strategic plan. That strategic plan was aimed at increasing affordable housing development and broad revitalization efforts.
