Young and Mick's is a social network aimed at those involved in Catholic Education between the ages of 22-35 living in Greater Melbourne. The network provides contacts and interaction with, professionals of a similar background and age. From personal experience, discussion with peers and reading of educational material it is clear that the average age of those drinking coffee in the staffroom is on the increase! The opportunity to share ideas and mingle with Generation X is limited. Young and Micks hopes to fill a much-needed void for those commencing or mid way, on their journey in education.
