The Community-Led Transformation (CLT) Principles are a set of values to help guide work with communities. The CLT principles were originally developed alongside collaborative work in immigrant and refugee communities, but we believe they are applicable to a potentially unlimited number of communities. The principles are flexible and dynamic; sometimes all may be used simultaneously while at other times only a few will be in focus. We believe that the principles that lead community transformation will continue to evolve.

• Community-led 

• Co-designed

• Partnership-based and trust-driven

• Cultural humility

• Healing-centered

• Strengths-based learning

• Adaptive and responsive

• Collaborative funding

• Sustainable

• Community ownership
