Fusion

FUSION is our weekly gathering for teens from grade 8 through 12. The Canadian youth culture propels many at-risk young people into gang involvement, drug and alcohol use, violence, and sexual experimentation. Fusion offers a safe, fun, and challenging alternative to the youth of Surrey.

On Friday nights, we send our vehicles throughout Surrey to pick up teens and involve them in fun outings, crazy games and contests, high-quality music, and life guidance. It is during the teenage years that many young people make crucial decisions which will shape their lives for years to come. Fusion exists to encourage young people to make healthy choices and discover all they were designed to be - and we don't mind having a great time doing it!
