Nayeli Pena
Nayeli Pena was born and raised in the Bay Area. As she grew up one of her biggest passions and dreams was working with youth. She has been with the Boys & Girls Club for 2 years going on to 3. She began her role as a YDP and has transitioned into her new role as program director.
She continues to grow with her amazing team while providing a safe and positive environment with a sense of belonging for the youth. The thing that she enjoys most with working for the Boys & Girls is knowing that she is making an impact within the community.
Moment of Impact
Angelino began attending the Boy & Girls Club in the fall. When he first began, he was timid and had a few outbreaks and challenges with the daily schedule. As the school year went on, he began to trust the staff and become more aware of his own feeling and what it is that his enjoyed doing, as we worked alongside his teacher and family. Now that the school year has come to an end, I can proudly say how much of an impact he holds on staff and students. He has made everyone more resilient, understanding, and work better as a team. We are all so happy to have Angelino a part of our Monroe family!

We have recently moved from a paper-driven enrollment process to a user-friendly online platform that will allow parents and caregivers to complete an application online at our website, www.bgcsl.org. Once you complete your Club membership application online, login personal credentials will be created so you can access your parent portal 24/7. If you do not have access to join via computer at home, you can also complete your application at our Clubhouse located at 2200 San Leandro Blvd. San Leandro.

Our online registration system generates a waitlist when a program is full. If there is no availability within the program, the registration system will keep you updated via notifying families of their waitlist status and next steps.
The school-site Program Director will contact parents once a space becomes available. Our goal is to provide access to as many youths as possible within our safety guidelines and staff-to-student ratios. Registration priority will be given to foster youths, unhoused students, and students facing special circumstances.
Yes, snacks are provided every day. If your child has allergic reactions to certain foods, we ask that you please notify the staff of those allergies by indicating them on the membership application in the registration process online/paper. If your child(ren) needs more snacks than the program provides, please provide your child(ren) with additional healthy (no candy or soda) snacks. Every program welcomes donations of healthy snacks.

Please bear in mind that by placing an adult on your list of authorized pickups you are indicating that it is acceptable to release your child to this individual without phone verification. Parents may always review their list of authorized pickups by contacting the site’s Unit or Program Director.

Guest pickups will be required to provide a valid form of Picture Identification before release.

Program Staff will not dispense any medication to children; however, if your child has a condition that requires medication during the program, please contact the Program Director to discuss the specific circumstances to best determine how your child’s medication needs may be met. Expanded learning program staff MUST be notified and alerted to any medical condition upon enrollment.
