Chicago Center for Leadership & Transformation

The Chicago Center for Leadership and Transformation (CCLT) is a locally rooted, nationally and globally connected learning community. Our mission is to build strong leaders and capacity for transformative social justice movements.

We are committed to investing in the leadership of Black, Brown, AAPI and Indigenous people working to create a world free of capitalism, anti-Black racism, white supremacy and patriarchy. We do this through providing movement education and facilitation grounded in radical feminist, abolitionist and transformative organizing.

We believe in providing movement education and facilitation that builds shared knowledge, skills and relationships. We do this through popular, rigorous and creative education with groups and individuals.

We value curiosity, principled struggle, connection and love for all oppressed people. We do this through program experimentation, political study and building an ethic of self work and community care with people across class, gender, ability, faith, sexuality and marginalized racial identities.
