Program Director: Nancy Robles

My name is Nancy Robles, I was born and raised in the Bay area my major is Criminal Justice. I was drawn to work with the San Leandro Boys and Girls Club for the opportunity to serve and have a direct impact on the local community. I have worked with the educational system and volunteered for about four-five years. My goal is to lead by example and to help awaken youths’ highest abilities mentally and physically. My passion and drive come from being fractured at a young age and learning as a child/adult how to convert challenges to success. My desire for growth, support, and change continues as I take a new director position. In my free time, I love to mentor others and stay active. I look forward to continuing my journey with the boys and girls club.
