The Boys & Girls Clubs of San Leandro Summer Programs are led by professionally trained youth development staff. The organization’s mission is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need them most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. The leadership team includes Kim Pace (Chief Executive Officer), Akin Joseph (Chief Operating Officer), Samantha Jeandebien (Director of Program Design & Curriculum), Priscilla Chen-Ok (Chief Financial Officer), Marshall Lott (Chief Programs Officer), Jordan Montanino (Director of Development), Atziry Gutierrez (Director of Marketing & Communications), Diana Medina (Managing Director of Programs), Paul Rodriguez (Director of Club Safety & Operations), Tina Rittal (Controller), and Shaunna Jones (Sr. Director of Human Resources).
The organization’s history includes an informal recreational organization formed in September 1945, incorporation as a Boys’ Club in 1947, opening a new building in 1960, dedicating an Olympic-size swimming pool in 1961, and becoming coed and changing its name to the Boys & Girls Club in 1991. It partnered with San Leandro and San Lorenzo Unified School Districts in 2007 and 2008 to become the primary provider for after-school programs, completed a $10.5+ million Capital Campaign in 2019, and reopened its building as a Teen Center and Community Hub in 2021. Community involvement includes partnerships with ELO-P (Expanded Learning Opportunities Program) and local school districts, and after-school programming at 24 school sites across San Leandro, San Lorenzo, and New Haven Unified School District. A youth member described their experience by saying, “When I come to the Club, I feel like I’m Home.”
Additional features of the summer programs include full-day care, healthy meals and snacks, low staff-to-member ratios of 1:20 for grades 1–12 and 1:10 for kindergarten, and affordable access for families with scholarships available up to 100% of total cost based on need. Weekly themes are used, Summer Brain Gain academic enrichment is aligned with Common Core anchor standards, every Friday includes field trips or themed adventures, and a free 2025–2026 Club membership is automatically created as part of summer enrollment. Separate programs are offered for TK–K, 1st–5th grade, and 6th–7th grade middle school, and there is one Teen Center and Community Hub, along with free full-day school-year day camps on select days when school is closed.
