Eli Garcia

Eli Garcia has been with the Educational Opportunity Center for 10 years. He grew up in Del Rey, California, just southeast of Fresno. At an early age he helped his family by working as a Farm Laborer, picking everything from chili peppers to tomatoes. He graduated from Sanger High School and with the advice of loved ones he realized college was not out of his reach. He went on to earn a Bachelor's Degree from Fresno State. He is a first-generation college graduate from a family of nine siblings.

"I feel privileged to have the opportunity to empower future college students to pursue their dreams and blessed to work with students in creating that pathway to success. TRIO IT WORKS." - Eli Garcia
