Background

About Keegan Burke

With over a decade of leadership experience across New York State government and the nonprofit sector, I am passionate about building equitable systems, developing mission-driven teams, and leading strategic initiatives that create lasting community impact. I have built and led multimillion-dollar statewide programs, designed and facilitated large-scale trainings, overseen diverse teams, and spearheaded organizational culture and DEI efforts throughout my career. Currently, I serve in a high-impact role that combines strategic planning, program oversight, stakeholder engagement, and equity-centered leadership. My experience includes providing supervision to a Bureau that provides $22M in statewide allocations to support youth in the Juvenile Justice System at the New York State Office of Children and Family Services. My work includes managing contracts, supervising staff, guiding interagency partnerships, and supporting initiatives focused on uplifting youth, families, and vulnerable populations. I have also directed programs at nonprofit organizations, built cross-functional teams, and driven workforce development, leadership training, and policy change. I bring a values-based leadership style rooted in collaboration, accountability, and a deep commitment to inclusion. My approach bridges operational excellence with a heart for service, whether launching new talent development initiatives or advancing racial or gender equity frameworks at the system level.
