BTG Symposium

"The highlight of the day was the interaction with the interns talking about their programs and learning about resources ... The connections with other organizations are too many to name ... I am so impressed with what BTG is doing for the students and for this community."

"The Symposium was a great way to end my terrific experience with BTG and meet with the community I affected as a whole. I hope to attend more sessions sponsored by BTG where I can receive the opportunity to reconnect with BTG interns and the larger Philadelphia community."
