Testimonials

See what our youth and community partners think about the program.

BLG has employed a youth every summer since 2013 and over that time, we have been consistently impressed by the quality of the candidates. They bring a level of maturity that is rarely seen of kids their age. We continue to be a proud supporter of the program as well as of the 5 students we’ve been privileged to host to date.
