I decided I needed a career change and that I had to get my high school diploma, which inspired me to join Civicorps. I later joined the conservation side, and since then have worked with East Bay Municipal Utility District and East Bay Regional Parks. The corps has trained me in many tools – chainsaws, trimmers, hedgers. We also work on the tire recycling side. We pick up tires people dump on the side of the road. We also do some electronics recycling. Now I’m actually looking into going to college and studying some fire safety courses as well. I’m going into a career as a park ranger.
