Director, Community Relations at San Diego Gas & Electric

I’m proud to highlight San Diego Gas & Electric’s latest initiative that connects Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) interns with meaningful, real-world experiences while driving positive change in our community. In our partnership with Mission Edge, 30 talented SDG&E interns have been working on projects that align with SDG&E’s four pillars of corporate social responsibility: K-16 STEM Education, Climate Awareness, Emergency Preparedness and Safety, and Economic Prosperity. This is one example of how we cultivate the next generation of leaders while giving back to our community.    This program not only deepens our interns’ connection to our company, but it also showcases our commitment to corporate social responsibility and introduces them to the vital work of local San Diego nonprofits. Over four weeks, our interns organized into teams, and guided by dedicated SDG&E employee mentors, contributed 30-40 hours each to projects that make a real impact.    Partnering with Generation STEAM, San Diego Fire-Rescue Foundation, Sister Cities Project, The San Diego River Park Foundation and Zero8Hundred to make a meaningful difference in our community exemplifies our commitment to: doing the right thing, championing people, and shaping the future. This program not only supports our community but also brings our interns together to work on impactful projects, setting the stage for their future careers.    A very big kudos to Marvin Ordonez, Megan Vallone, Charlotte Vitak , and Michelle Fujisaki-Thomas for their leadership and management of this innovative initiative from inception to execution. A special thank you to our SDG&E employees who volunteered their time, energy and skills to mentor the intern teams through their respective projects. #SDGEgiving
