Operation Fusion

Operation Fusion aims to serve the refugee and immigrant children at Las Americas Newcomer School and Billy Reagan K-8. The goal of Operation Fusion is to blend culture and health through education and empowerment, allowing students to define their identities and set their personal health goals. This program explicitly emphasizes channeling cultural diversity to promote a sense of agency and belonging. Volunteers will lead weekly interactive sessions that encourage students to build healthy habits and learn to utilize their home cultures as assets in their education, identity, and everyday lives.

Member Expectations

Members will facilitate weekly sessions and deliver lessons based on different monthly themes pertaining to various aspects of health and culture. By attending monthly training sessions, undergraduate volunteers will be able to take part in designing lesson plans and become prepared to help facilitate sessions with the students.

Plans Moving Forward

Operation Fusion will begin hosting in-person sessions at Las Americas Newcomer School and Billy Reagan K-8 during the Fall semester of 2025. Volunteers will have the opportunity to help facilitate sessions with the middle school students, as well as take on active roles in curriculum development and mentorship with the children we serve.
