About CHCI
In 1978, a small group of Hispanic members of Congress established CHCI to develop the next generation of Latino leaders with a clear vision of a strong America made possible with the many contributions of educated and civic-minded Latino leaders engaged in and contributing to all aspects of U.S. society. This vision was founded on three cornerstones for success: education attainment and college access, leadership development programs in D.C. and access to a powerful network of Latino leaders in the United States. Today, CHCI is the premier Hispanic nonprofit and nonpartisan 501(c)(3) leadership development organization in the country, firmly rooted in the same three mission cornerstones laid by our founders: educate, empower, connect.
