It Takes a Village: DuPage County Correctional Facility and COD Offer Urban Farming Certificate

College of DuPage partners with the DuPage County Sheriff's Office and JUST DuPage to offer detainees at the DuPage County Correctional Facility the opportunity to earn college credit while pursuing a Certificate in Urban Agriculture and/or Power equipment technology.
An important part of the DuPage County Sheriff’s approach to rehabilitation, the program gives detainees the opportunity to earn college credit, increase their employability after release and donate thousands of pounds of fresh produce to a number of local food pantries.
