Chevron supports a wide range of educational and environmental programs in Saudi Arabia.
Chevron has played an important role in helping to found, organize, develop, participate in and financially contribute to the Saudi Petroleum Services Polytechnic in Dammam. Opened in October 2008, the institution provides Saudi high school graduates with a critical new resource for developing the necessary technical and vocational skills to become certified oil field support services technicians. Chevron has worked closely with the country's Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources and the government's Technical and Vocational Training Corporation to develop the institute, the first of its kind in the kingdom.
We help sustain the Saudi Wildlife Fund and have helped sponsor ongoing beautification and greening programs in the city of Khafji. Chevron has supported a number of educational programs and institutions, including the Khafji Girl's College, the King Fahad University of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, the King Abdul Aziz Foundation for the Gifted, and local schools.
Chevron has contributed to the King Fahad National Center for Children's Cancer and Research, to other charitable endeavors throughout the kingdom, and to Saudi-supported organizations in the United States.
