Youth Work
During the time of COVID self-isolation, we have had to change the way we do things. This has meant that some of our youth programs and activities are being delivered online. For the safety of the young people participating and the safety of our satff and volunteers, we require all young people under the age of 17 to submit a signed Online Meeting Permission Note. Click below to complete the form.
At Fusion Sydney North we require all young people attending our programs to complete a REGISTRAION FORM which includes parental consent and emergencey contact information. It also includes our ‘NORMS’ and expectations of the young people for them to read and give signed agreement.
Fusion Sydney North works towards the growth and development of young people and the communities in which they live. Contributing to the building of resilient young people, stronger families and safer communities in and around Hornsby.

Fusion Australia has operated either a “Youth Café” or a Youth Drop-in Centre in Hornsby for more than 40 years… first in Coronation Street (“The Attic”), then next to Hornsby Station (“Jacks Island Café”) then at 5 Jersey Street (“Jacks Youth Café”). Jacks Youth Cafe is attended young people from schools right across the Hornsby & Kuring-gai LGA’s – some come in just for a milkshake and company. For some it is for more significant reasons. Jacks has a range of volunteers of different ages and life experiences, from teenagers to grand-parents. All our volunteers are screened and are provided with all the necessary training. It is a place where young people can feel known and cared for. Jacks has a clear set of ‘norms’ that are designed to help people feel respected and safe. It is a place where young people know they have others who believe in them and their potential, and who will both challenge and encourage them. At Jacks Youth Cafe, young people can participate in a range of different activities including: pool, table tennis, Nintendo Wii & Sony Playstation 2 gaming, arts & crafts, board games and much, much more. Come and experience our $1 Milkshakes or tasty toastie!

Our youth work team also run a weekly Breakfast Club at St Ives High School. Breakfast Clubs are a great way of connecting with young people on a reguslar basis. Our Brekkie Club aims to meet the needs of students who may not have access to a decent meal to start the day as well as build community among the student body. The Brekkie Club team is mostly comprised of student volunteers who arrive early each week to serve by cooking and serving pancakes, restocking cereal and juice supplies and just generally chatting to their peers.
