Virginia Natural Gas Celebrates Freedom…and STEM

Courtesy of a gift from Virginia Natural Gas, the Celebrate Freedom Foundation (CFF) brought its unique, STEM-centered showcase to three Virginia high schools: Hampton High School, Bethel High School and Heritage High School - all on the Peninsula.

Alongside CFF's impressive fleet of military aircraft and advanced drone technology, Virginia Natural Gas was on-site demonstrating its own innovative tools and career opportunities to area students considering careers in energy. Participants had hands-on experiences with our Picarro leak detection vehicle, field service and locating technologies, and the PRX live gas main inspection tool.

This event highlights our shared commitment to fostering a skilled workforce ready to meet the global challenges of the future. By offering hands-on experiences with cutting-edge technology, the CFF and Virginia Natural Gas continue to inspire students and enhance their understanding of their opportunities in STEM. We reached around 1,500 kids and our job application site received over 600 visits in three days! We look forward to seeing how these experiences will shape their professional journeys.
