Island Harvest

Summer Food Service Program Monitor

June - August 2017 • Hauppauge, NY

What I liked

As a SFSP Monitor, you learn how to simultaneously manage multiple food service sites and their corresponding federal paperwork. Since you work a little more independently than as a team, this job allows you to really learn how to be organized and responsible, which are vital skills that will help you grow as a professional. Furthermore, you help feed low-income children on Long Island; if that won't bring you joy, then I'm not sure what will.

What I wish was different

Nothing, my experience was amazing.

Advice

Don't be afraid to contact site supervisors to stay on top of paperwork! That can be challenging, so you have to find a balance between being compassionate and understanding and being in-charge. Also, don't be afraid to ask your fellow monitors for help!
