The PECG River City Section Philanthropy Committee is dedicated to supporting the education, endeavors, and wellbeing of our PECG members and community. As a fundamental part of PECG’s values, the Committee engages in offering academic scholarships, sponsoring STEM programs, and volunteering for local organizations.
The River City Section is offering two scholarships for students in our community. It is our hope that these scholarships will serve to support the academic endeavors of future engineers, geologists, computer scientists, and other related professions.

River City Section Philanthropy Committee Members formed an online panel to discuss PECG careers with the Career Technical Education Foundation (CTE). CTE aims to provide students with a pathway to post-secondary education and careers by offering career technical education programs in Sonoma County. River City Members had an opportunity to speak to these students about our impactful technical STEM careers in California government and the importance of STEM careers in government.
