The Justice Discipleship Year

Grow in justice. Live with purpose. Join a community of faith and action.

We want to help young adults all over the UK live out justice in the way of Jesus, regardless of access to a local Just Love group.

The Justice Discipleship Year is a year-long journey for Christian young adults who are passionate about justice and want to put that passion into practice - holistically, fruitfully and sustainably.

Over the course of a year, apprentices will be inspired, supported and equipped to live out justice in the way of Jesus where they are.

This is a great opportunity to explore what justice looks like in everyday life, grow as a disciple of Jesus, and connect with a network of others pursuing change in the world around them.

Why should you join The Justice Discipleship Year?

The Just Love Apprenticeship equips you to grow in faith, leadership, and practical action - preparing you to make a real difference in your community and beyond.

Your early adult years can be a launchpad for lifelong impact. Through the Justice Discipleship Year, you’ll grow in values, character, theology and practices - joining a network of students and young adults committed to seeing God’s justice break into every area of society.

You’ll gain tools, confidence, and community to continue justice work at this life stage and beyond.

1-to-1 Coaching
Personal coaching throughout the year to set and reflect on your Justice Practice goals and your journey of justice learning and action (around 4–6 sessions).

Training & Courses
Attending Justice-focused in person training events throughout the year and a monthly online leadership course with others pursuing Justice in the way of Jesus.

Resources & Community
Access to a Noticeboard and shared online drive to connect with other Justice Disciples and share resources.

Regular Encouragement
Regular email updates with stories, resources, and opportunities to help you stay inspired and engaged; and a WhatsApp community to connect with and learn from others committed to growing in their justice discipleship!
