Quotes
180:Fuse has had a significant impact on the climate and culture of our school and their vision is aligned with that of our school and school board, specifically related to creating a welcoming environment for the community. We would therefore like to express our support for 180 Fuse and hope that this program will continue to be offered at our school.

On a monthly basis, their excellent team members have been instrumental in connecting with students through positive role modelling, interactive games, ice breakers and large and small team events. Each and every student comes away sharing how much fun they had and how glad they are that they have the 180:Fuse events to come too!

“[In the Spring of 2016] I was presented with an exciting opportunity to partner with Global 180 to pilot 180:Lift…for a group of…girls at Dolphin… The sessions enhanced their self-esteem, inspired them, and developed friendships and established trust and bonds between each other. I also spoke with parents about the program and they were thankful that their children had the opportunity…to develop personal leadership skills.

Former Vice Principal at Dolphin Senior Public School
The enthusiasm of our students is evident each week before when every class is visited to provide information on the theme and date of the next 180:Fuse event. I have overheard many students planning with each other to meet at the event and encourage others in their class saying that it is ‘…awesome and fun…’ and that it is the ‘…best and most fun few hours of the month…’

180:Fuse provides our…students with a monthly opportunity to come together as a community and participate in positive challenges with each other and provides a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment for our students to thrive in while getting to know each other better. The program’s leaders are positive role models for our students and ensure everyone’s involvement and inclusion.

As a student 180 Fuse was a special experience to have. It was a great way to hang out with friends after school, play games and do challenges and just have fun. The leaders were always super nice and made you feel super welcome.

Fuse has given me a way to see what friendship really means. As a student, I came with friends but I was also given the opportunity to make new ones. Now as a volunteer, I get to see the same thing happening with younger students and it's really exciting.

The leadership team became a big part of why I enjoyed being at Merge. I loved getting the opportunity to interact with people, participate in dinner programs, and taking part in Merge activities. I especially loved learning about topics such as forgiveness and experience, which helped me understand and learn about myself and the people around me.

Successful student who completed 180:Merge’s Leadership Program
As a teenager, I've had to face various problems, including family, academics, and mental health. The leadership team has really helped me find my way among these problems and taught me how to tackle life. Its lessons, while simple, are incredibly powerful and still resonate within me to this day.
