Posted by Overbrook Environmental Education Center on September 29, 2026
This year’s symposium, October 23 and 24 at St. Joseph’s University, is guided by the theme, “Building Capacity for Sustainable and Resilient Communities,” recognizes that thriving communities are built through knowledge, strong partnerships, and collective action. Over two-days, participants will come together to share ideas, exchange strategies, build connections, and advance solutions that strengthen environmental health, justice, sustainability, and community resilience.
Whether you are a community resident, environmental professional, advocate, student, educator, or organizational leader, this symposium offers a valuable opportunity to learn, connect, and collaborate. The Thriving Communities Symposium will bring together conversations, learning sessions, networking, and community engagement centered on critical environmental and public health issues.
The symposium is free to attend. We encourage you to join us, share your ideas and experiences, and connect with others committed to building sustainable, equitable, and thriving communities. Please feel free to invite colleagues, community members, partners, and emerging environmental leaders from your network.
