Delta Corpsmember K’lema Burleson prepares to answer a question regarding her equipment during her crew’s readiness exercise near New Hogan Reservoir in Calaveras County, CA.

Whether you’re looking to finish your high school diploma or have your college degree, the California Conservation Corps can help you figure out what career you want to tackle.

The CCC Delta Center is helping Corpsmember K’lema Burleson do exactly that with wildland firefighting.

K’lema has no interest in working a desk job.

She’s fighting wildfire, worked in the backcountry, and, as she says, is transforming herself from young adult to a full career and adult.
