Sarina Sierra

Hometown Girl Making a Difference

and community. She says that she is inspired by the positive words and support from not only her own family and friends, but also from the Club’s youth and their parents.

With so much talent and experience, Sarina was asked to work with the Tehachapi Unified School District in establishing a new Boys & Girls Club Teen Center in the former junior high school facility. She was instrumental in building a team, recruiting students, and developing a teen oriented program based on the needs of the kids in Tehachapi. Through her leadership, the Club continues to grow and expand in the number of young adults served and the outstanding educational, enrichment and character building programs.

When asked what she likes about working at the Club, Sarina replied, “Overall, I like that the Boys & Girls Clubs after-school program is memorable and fun. Seeing all the effort that is put into helping the youth and empowering them to excel academically and in life.” My favorite part of working at the Club is seeing the amazing impact every team has on the parents and students attending the Club or afterschool program. It’s such a heartwarming feeling knowing that every team gives so much to make afterschool time a great experience for the youth.” Sarina’s advice to anyone considering joining the Club staff is, “Do it. It’s the most rewarding job that will give you the best life lessons and experiences.”

Outside of her rewarding career, Sarina does have an international travel bucket list and someday hopes to visit places including Greece, Paris, and Rome. She feels that a trip to any of these places would be good for her as it would take her out of her comfort zone and inspire her to see, taste, and try new things. Sarina also has a talent for eyelash extensions and microblading and dreams of eventually building her own business for these services someday.
