The City of Seattle sponsors these federally funded meals and snacks to youth ages 1-18 at approximately100 locations throughout Seattle, including playgrounds, community centers, library branches, summer schools, youth clubs, cultural organizations,and housing communities. Simply stated, the Summer Food Service Program’s goal is to connect youth with nutritious meals and meaningful academic/cultural activities when school is out.
This position performs monitoring duties to support sites success and ensure compliance with all SFSP regulations. Monitors train meal site staff on program rules, visit sites throughout the summer to ensure proper program operations, collect weekly program paperwork, and troubleshoot day-to-day site concerns. This position reports to the Food & Nutrition Unit Sr. Supervisor.

This is a fast-paced position that gives candidates experience with direct service and city human services work.
Successful applicants will be highly organized, adaptable, and comfortable enforcing strict federal and city program rules with site program staff and Seattle Public Schools Nutrition Services staff.
The position from approximately 6/5/24-8/30/24; candidates should be available for the entire duration of the position. Due to the nature of the work, this is not a remote position.
