Certificate Courses. The Windy City Harvest short courses in Sustainable Urban Agriculture offer a variety of industry-specific certificates. These certificates have been designed for individuals who already have a firm foundation in sustainable urban growing techniques and are looking to expand their knowledge in specific areas.

PLEASE MAKE NOTE: The Youth Farm Facilitator training was listed in a previous email for Feb 15 however, the accurate date is February 22nd.

Are you interested in learning more about how to work with youth in an urban agriculture or school garden setting? Would you like to know more about structuring a youth development program centered on sustainable agriculture and food systems during the summer or school year? Please join the Windy City Harvest Youth Farm staff for a day of focused learning.

Let me know if you have any questions regarding our one-day courses or newly priced 3 day aquaponics intensive.
Have a wonderful week!
Kris
