Deep Ghosh, Founder & Principal

Deepmalya Ghosh (Deep) is a lifetime New Yorker, with roots in Queens, Brooklyn and The Bronx.  He is in the business of helping human-service leaders and organizations powerfully impact those they serve, and especially to better engage disconnected youth.  That's his North Star.   

He thinks when systems fail communities, it shows up in how well young adults (16-24yo) are doing.  He believes in strategies that recognize targeted universalism and embrace collective impact with a keen awareness that building community only works at the speed of trust between its stakeholders, its residents and the organizations that serve them.   He generally looks at indicators that speak to upward mobility for youth and families living in underserved communities. 

Deep serves as Senior Advisor at United Way of New York City and Executive Coach/Consultant at Partners for Rural Impact.  He is a Fellow of the Annie E Casey Foundation and an Advanced Results Count (TM) Practitioner.    He provides results-driven executive coaching/consulting and works with a cross-sector of clients like StriveTogether, The Center for Justice Innovation, NYC-Department of Youth & Community Development (DYCD) and NYC Police Foundation.  Founded in 2019, he is Principal of Deep Outcomes LLC, a M/WBE-certified Small Business.  Deep is a Certified MBTI and EQ-i 2.0  & EQ 360 Trainer/Facilitator.  

Deep is a champion of youth development and community-based service.  For over twenty-five years, while at Queens Child Guidance Center and The Child Center of NY he served thousands of families in New York's under-resourced communities through development of programs that include Beacon Centers & Community Schools, taking those strategies of engaging community and applying them in NYCHA Community Centers.  He leads with the belief that social justice pathways are powerfully catalyzed by advancing youth development through powerful mentors from the same community.  

Over twenty years, Deep led creation of after-school programs, summer camps, school-based health clinics, alternative high schools, work-readiness and health/wellness programs for older adolescents in neighborhoods throughout Queens, Brooklyn and Roosevelt Island.  In 2019, he played an active lead in the opening of the NYPD's first community center in East New York, Brooklyn.   

Deep served on Queens Community Board #8 as well as a variety of Advisory Boards focused on issues like community revitalization, youth violence prevention and implementation of community schools.   He is an ongoing advocate for extended day learning beyond the traditional school day and served as New York State Afterschool Ambassador for the National Afterschool Alliance, where he worked in communities throughout NYC to increase awareness of the need for afterschool, and acted as a voice for the afterschool movement.   

Deep has traveled nationally to work in youth and educational settings in San Francisco, Chicago and Rural Appalachia to sports programs in Memphis and Miami.  In 2015, he was among a number of community leaders to join Letitia James on a Peace Mission to Israel and Palestine.   In the same year, he successfully fostered a relationship with Major League Baseball's RBI program and the New York Mets Foundation to start free baseball programs, most notably in Far Rockaway.
