About Maverick Manner Established in May 2023 and based in Geelong, Maverick Manner is a community-focused service agency that supports young people aged 12 to 25 to build independence, resilience and real-world skills.
In September 2024, we proudly opened our HUB and coffee shop, Sixteen06. This welcoming space is designed not only to deliver our programs but to involve young people in their local community. Through hands-on experiences and meaningful relationships, Sixteen06 helps bridge the gap to greater social inclusion, confidence and employability.
