ELO-P afterschool program may be heading to Marina Teen Center

MARINA, Calif. (KION-TV) -- The City of Marina seeks to run a segment of an afterschool program at its teen center in an agreement with Monterey Peninsula Unified School District.

The Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P) has been offered as a program before as part of the City's Recreation and Cultural Services Department as part of the 2024 summer session and for elementary students in the 2024-2025 school year.

The program under the MPUSD hopes to have the program run for middle school students for the remainder of the school year.

The City of Marina hopes to be an independent contractor to run the program within the Marina Teen Center for students of Los Arboles Middle School.

Berrueta studied journalism at Humboldt State University (now Cal Poly Humboldt) earning his Bachelor’s Degree. Berrueta was a staff writer, page editor, social media manager and editor-in-chief of the university’s El Lenador, the only bilingual publication in all of Humboldt County.

Before moving to the North Coast, Berrueta had earned his Associate’s Degree at East Los Angeles College in 2019 after beginning his educational journey in 2012. He also was on staff for the ELAC’s publication, ELAC Campus News, having been a staff writer, page editor, and online editor.

Outside of news experience, Berrueta has also been in education as an AmeriCorps tutor in East Hollywood from 2017 to 2019 and served in a government role as a National Hometown Fellow for Lead for America with the City of Arcata in 2021.
