Emerging Influencers
Emerging Influencers is a six week leadership programme for 16-23 year olds, providing a fast-track online course connecting faith and justice.
It enables you to connect with like-minded game changers, helps you develop a theological understanding of justice and equips you to positively impact people living in poverty.
Applications are now closed. If you are interested in joining the programme when it is run in the future, please contact us.
REGISTER YOUR INTERESTWith everything happening around the world right now, it’s easy to feel powerless and isolated, but this is the perfect opportunity to use your time well and make a difference.
Although meeting in person is difficult – we’re still connected. The Emerging Influencers programme is designed to grow and develop leaders who are passionate about ending injustice and making a difference to those in need.
You can expect to:
- Learn from global leaders, entrepreneurs, theologians
- Weekly mentoring with a leader in the field of justice
- Make a real difference for people living in poverty by creating teams and raising money together
The course is coming back with an exciting refresh in Spring 2023! If you are interested in being part of it, please register your interest and we will get in touch with you closer to the time about the changes.
How it works
- Monday learning sessions – 2 hour webinars on each Monday evening 7-9pm on Zoom, hearing from leading voices in justice from across the world
- 1-to-1 mentoring – 30 minute weekly check ins with your mentor at a time that suits your schedule.
- Fundraise – as part of the course we will be fundraising for Tearfund’s work around the world. You’ll gather a team, learning how to influence and encourage people around you to take a fundraising challenge.

Applicants are required to join all sessions and activities across six weeks. Please only apply if you’re certain you can make that commitment.
