The Detroit Public Schools Community District is not seeking new Corps Members for the 2025-2026 term.

The Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD) is the largest school district in Michigan, with nearly 50,000 students in 106 schools. In 2012, DPSCD kicked off an extensive Farm to School initiative that created school gardens throughout the city. As this program grew, DPSCD focused on connecting students, teachers, and community members to local agriculture while empowering them to grow their own food at school or home. Today, the Farm and Garden Program provides resources and support for all district school gardens. DPSCD’s Drew Farm is a thriving two-acre farm that produces food for the school cafeterias and offers programming for school field trips to the farm and other community events.
