Fusion is an international youth and community organization which emerged as a creative response to socially-at-risk young people in suburban Sydney, Australia in 1960. Its founder, Mal Garvin, is a well-known author, broadcaster, communicator and therapist. Today, Fusion has over 250 staff and thousands of volunteers in 30 centers around Australia, European bases in the United Kingdom and Germany and work in Albania, Canada, Ghana, Greece, India, Indonesia, and the Caribbean. While it began its work among youth, the importance of a healthy and caring community to nurture each new generation has led Fusion into extensive community work in Australia.
