With a deep passion for youth development and years of dedicated service, Lucatero brings a wealth of experience and an inspiring vision to his new role.

Jovany previously served as Assistant Director at the Lompoc Club, where he was instrumental in fostering programs that empowered children to excel in sports, creative arts, and personal growth.

A former Club kid himself during his 8th-grade year, Jovany understands the transformative impact the Boys & Girls Clubs can have on a young person’s life. “Starting so late at the Club made me realize how much I had missed out on before joining,” he said.
