¡10th Anniversary Tapas! celebrates Scholars Latino Initiative's first decade as a Virginia nonprofit supporting Latinx high school students.

HISTORY: The foundations of SLI’s mission began well before SLI’s first decade as a Virginia nonprofit. The original SLI was founded by Peter Iver Kaufman and others in 2001 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 2008 Kaufman brought SLI to the University of Richmond, Virginia, and later to the Shenandoah Valley, where this organization was incorporated in 2012 and became a 501c3 public charity. Kaufman continues to serve as the program director for SLI in Richmond.
