About this event

Millennial Crisis is a community of like-minded Millennials & Gen Z who are fed up with the idea of the way "things are supposed to go". From working a shitty corporate 9-5 that is causing you mental distress, to watching our "leaders" turn our economy and our environment to sh*t.

This space is designed to connect you with others to discuss topics that are relevant to our generation… ultimately leaving us feeling a little less alone in our experience and with a little reminder that none of us really know wtf we are doing, and that’s OK!

Imagine the meaningful conversations you have traveling abroad or staying up late with great friends!
 Our Conversation events run once a month across the globe, with an aim to spark real-life friendships 🙌

You may not currently be a "do-er" but through the encouragement & support of a community, we hope you contribute to changing the world (or at least your world).

We don’t run regular “networking” events because our community is about more than that, it is a space for open conversation about things you wouldn’t normally talk about. You can expect to be placed in small groups with other Millennials and Gen Z-ers seeking meaningful conversation and connection. Our prompts will spark thought-provoking conversations about topics that matter to you. It's the perfect opportunity to step out of your comfort zone, make new connections, and learn from one another's experiences.

If you have any concerns or questions we are here to make you feel as comfortable as possible so get in touch @themillennialcrisis on IG or hello@themillennialcrisis.com

As with all TMC events, this is a safe space for you to be 100% yourself, with no judgment so come and say hi!

IF YOU’D LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE TO KEEPING OUR EVENTS FREE & HAVE THE MEANS, DONATE BELOW :) Our space is community run & lead meaning everybody who contributes their time is a volunteer. We are self funded and in order to ensure we are sustainable we would appreciate if you had the means to donate or to connect us with businesses/government bodies who may want to sponsor us or give us a grant to continue connecting young people!

About:
Millennial Crisis is joining forces with The Social Story Co to bring you a collaborative event focused on connecting with Millennials & Gen Z looking who are looking for a purpose-driven career. This event will focus on conversations that will leave you feeling less alone in your struggles and confusion navigating your career, life and how tf you find your purpose in it all??

If you find yourself struggling with the following questions, this event is for you:
👉 I don’t know what to do with my career, all I know is it’s sucking the life out of me rn 😀
👉 I just want to do a job that I feel like is making an impact and that gives me purpose
👉 Do I need to find a job I love, or can my job just make me money & can I seek purpose outside of work?
👉 How do I find and connect with people who want to do good work & I can be inspired by??

We believe open conversations with the right people can give you new perspectives, support & empower you to go after the things you want - because life is hardddd, we need good support systems around us!

This event will not only connect you with other like-minded pals in their 20s & 30s, as well as allow you to hear from industry professionals who have created a purpose-driven career, built a purposeful lifestyle & have been in your exact position.

You will have an opportunity to not only dive into deep discussion with others but also ask all your burning questions to an expert panel. We encourage the “taboo topics” here, so bring it on!!

Who is Millennial Crisis?

Millennial Crisis is a social movement that aims to reconnect Millennials and Gen Z IRL through community and conversation. We host events where you are encouraged to push yourself into your stretch zone and connect with strangers over topics that are relevant to our generation. Ultimately leaving feeling a little less alone in our experience and with a little reminder that none of us know wtf we are doing, and that’s OK!

Imagine the meaningful conversations you have travelling abroad or staying up late with great friends!
 We hope that our events are your first small step into creating meaningful connections, learning from your peers and realising how important connection is for us and paying that forward to those in your community.

What to expect?

Don’t worry this won't be a regular networking event - we don’t do awkward or boring! As we encourage you to come solo to our events, we ensure that we do our best to make you feel welcome, introduce you to new people upon arrival, and give you food & non-alcoholic drinks so you have something to do with your hands 😂

You can expect facilitated conversation with industry experts where no matter how introverted or extroverted you are, there will be opportunities for you to both listen and be heard. We will also have a panel of experts who have found purposeful lifestyles or careers so you can ask all the questions!

We have a ZERO tolerance policy for poor behaviour, discrimination of any kind or derogatory language. By registering for our events, you are acknowledging and agreeing to be a “good person”, by our definition, we expect you to:

- Not use any form of discriminatory language

- Engage in respectful discourse when topics arise

- No bullying, belittling or making any other community member feel uncomfortable through inappropriate language or actions

- Lead with empathy, and engage in 2 way non-combative communication

We lead with empathy but promise to provide as safe of space for all of our community members as possible. As with all TMC events, this is a safe space for you to be 100% yourself, with no judgment so come and say hi!

About:

Millennial Crisis is joining forces with Give a Grad a Go to bring you a collaborative event focused on “Navigating the Transition”. This event will focus on conversations that will leave you feeling less alone in your struggles and confusion navigating the job market and transition from student to full-time adulter 😀

We believe open conversations with the right people can give you new perspectives, insights and new people to discuss what “circling back” and other office lingo actually means???

This event will not only connect you with other like-minded grads in their 20s & 30s, but you will also hear and get to ask the Give a Grad a Go team questions on how to best approach the new job market. They will share their top tips on navigating the job market, what red flags to look out for in employers, how to ace the job interview and much more. You will have an opportunity during the event to ask them anything! We tackle the “taboo topics” here.

For 2023, Millennial Crisis knows our community wants to fight to bring down oppressive systems and is passionate about becoming better allies across the board. This Invasion Day/Survival Day we will be showing up in support of First Nations People to abolishing “Australia Day” and acknowledging it is NOT a date to celebrate.

We will be doing so in many ways, there is not one “right” way to support folk, and we understand that we are all in different situations so here are some ways you can show support:
- Join fellow MC community members in your city at a Survival Day event, please register via the form below, be sure to add which city you are in and we will group you with fellow MC members to attend an event together (you will be given information via email). Check out your local listing here: https://antar.org.au/issues/survival-day/events-listing/
- Donate/Pay rent here.
- Purchase an ally-friendly piece of apparel that acts as a great conversation starter here.
- Bring up difficult conversations with those you know who may be “celebrating” and engage in an empathetic and open discussion about why it’s not a day to celebrate and the significance of the day as well as the hurt our First Nations people experience. Here are some great resources: https://www.commonground.org.au/explore
- Join a survival day webinar, learn and show your support: https://www.evolves.com.au/survival-day-webinar/

Here you can register interest in meeting on the day to pay your respects and support First Nations People, we will email you details of where we will be meeting depending on your city.

It’s time to get out of that comfort zone and kick of January with a cold dip & chat 🙌
We are not running any formal events in January as we are in planning mode for the year, however we can’t keep you all hanging. This will be an informal event where we will attend Melbourne’s Feel Good Dips and then have a chill social catch-up after. This will not be a facilitated event however, we will have conversational prompts and questions at our post-dip chat :)

Perfect way if you’ve never attended an event before to meet everyone before you attend one of a regular style events, and for the vets, it’s going to be so fun to switch things up with an activity 😍

When: Sunday, Jan 22nd 8:30am (Sharp, the dips are not run by us so it’s important to be on time - if you’re worried arrive a little earlier they also have an earlier session available with “Feel Good activities” at 7:45am)
Where: Elwood Beach (Elwood Bathers) & post-event chats at the foreshore trail - there will be time in between for us to grab a morning coffee/egg & bacon roll and then set up for a chat.

Registration: As this is not a collaborative event between us & Feel Good Dips, it’s important to register both with FGD via the link below (they require a waiver) & then with us so we understand the numbers for our post-event chat. If you’re not a morning person, feel free to register & join us for a chat post-dip!

The time has come for another Millennial Conversations Event, thanks to old mate COVID we will be taking this one online..again! But don’t worry, it’s not going to be like your regular old zoom meeting or online trivia, we are just as over Zoom as you are…

But, you know that we never do anything ordinary at The Millennial Crisis.

This event will bring a little bit of light into our pandemic lives, allow you to connect with like-minded people and have open conversations about sh*t that actually matters. 

Imagine the meaningful conversations you have traveling abroad, or staying up late with great friends! 

We are all about getting outside of your comfort zone and into your stretch zone so push through the awkwardness, self-doubt, and fear you may feel leading up to the event, if you have any concerns or questions we are here to make you feel as comfortable as possible so get in touch @themillennialcrisis on IG or hello@themillennialcrisis.com

As with all TMC events, this is a safe space for you to be 100% yourself, no judgment so come and say hi!

FAQ

Who is this event for?

If you are currently stuck in the monotony of your 9-5, confused about the direction you want to go in life or are looking to push yourself out of your comfort zone and meet new people this event is for you.

We started the Millennial Crisis community, to connect, learn and grow with like-minded Millennials & Gen Z, so far we have run 40 online events and 2 IRL events where people have formed new friendships, collaborated on projects and gained new perspectives. 

Just a bunch of weirdo’s looking to live our best lives.

What can I expect?

Our events are inclusive and safe spaces, you can expect to feel supported, to meet new and interesting people doing really cool sh*t.

You can expect to be pushed out of your comfort zone (in the best way), engage in interesting conversation, be asked questions you may not have ever considered before, exchange stories with strangers and most importantly feel less alone in whatever “Millennial Crisis” you are experiencing.

But I have nobody to go with?

To be completely honest, we encourage people to come without knowing anybody, this is an opportunity for you to meet new people, connect in a way that you may not have before, and come in with a fresh slate, be the person you want to be without any expectations of what people will think of the “new you”.

Our community is all about growth (personal & career), so come alone and know we create a space where everybody no matter how shy you are will connect with somebody, we do a really great job of making our events inclusive and give everybody the opportunity to talk, meet new people without having to go up to a random person and start a conversation.

Don’t worry, if you have friends that you’d like to come with we encourage this too! It usually means you have great friends that you feel comfortable with and are both looking to grow together - we love to see it!

I experience anxiety/social anxiety I’m not sure about this?

A lot of our community experiences different levels of anxiety, meeting new people and a mid-pandemic world can do this to you! Remember it’s normal and totally valid to feel this way. We try to ease everybody’s minds as much as we can pre, upon arrival and during the event. This means having somebody greet you, creating a space that is inclusive and leaving our DM’s and emails open for anyone who has any questions that will help ease your mind.

However, if your anxiety gets the better of you do not worry! It happens, we’d love for you to register for the event, give it a crack to come and if you can’t make it last minute for this reason we are proud of you for trying!

We also run virtual events, which can sometimes be less scary for people to attend, so to ease in feel free to join a virtual event first and connect with our global community there :)
