Leyri Garcia is a seasoned professional in the field of educational exchange programs and experiential learning. He first came into the VISIONS community in 2010, drawn by the service work and opportunities for cross-cultural friendships. At the time, Leyri was a member of the Leos (the junior club for Lion’s Club) in Santo Domingo, and a few years later he became a leader on Dominican Republic team.

Now a year-round employee with VISIONS, Leyri also helps with many of the operations and logistics involved in providing well-crafted experiences for teens and customer service to families. He also leads VISIONS Custom Programs for school groups, a youth group, and families to provide community service opportunities during Spring Breaks, holidays, and special sessions.
