At SDG&E, we are committed to championing people by fostering meaningful partnerships and empowering communities. 

Our support for tribal relations and community initiatives reflects our dedication to honoring cultural heritage and building a brighter, more resilient future together. This commitment is at the heart of our work, especially as we celebrate Native American Heritage Month and spotlight the impactful efforts of the Native American Conservation Corps Tribal Lands Youth Program, where local youth are building real-world skills in wildfire mitigation and forest management. 

For SDG&E’s Vanessa Vanderver, sr. tribal affairs manager and a proud member of the Navajo Nation, supporting this initiative is more than just a job. It’s a way to empower the next generation and honor the deep connection her community has to the land.
