2017 - A community task force developed the blueprint for BCYF
Baltimore City Council named Associated Black Charities (ABC) as BCYF’s interim operator
The Youth Fund Task Force developed a set of values that would guide the Task Force during the process.
Those values are as follows:
- Our work is informed, driven and led by youth voices, and
- Our work both advances equity and is welcoming and supporting of all races, classes and gender identities, and
- Our work is accountable and has impact to local communities, neighborhoods and places where young people connect, and
- Our work is not politically-driven and promotes confidence from the caring networks of Baltimore’s Young people, and
- Our work inspires new partnerships and new approaches to philanthropy to advance Baltimore’s young people, and
- Our work is focused, expedient, and conducted with
urgency.
