How This Position Will Benefit You as a Student:

The food service program at Children’s Community is a State subsidized by the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) which supports nutrition through the administration of federal grants provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The USDA Child Nutrition Programs as it pertains to CCS include the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), School Breakfast Program (SBP), Afterschool Snack Program (ASP), Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP), and Seamless Summer Option (SSO) of the NSLP.

Funds and regulations related to these programs are administered in collaboration with the USDA. As a Work Study participant, you will not only help the school in maintaining and refining it’s nutritional protocols and tracking, but see the impact within the school for the students, witness and assist in meeting the dietary requirements in food preparation and distribution processes as well as the many steps required to attain state and federal funding according to all regulations.

A percentage of our CCS students have food insecurity concerns at home, so the proper kitchen services are vital to our meeting the dietary needs of our children. 

This opportunity is open to Post University students only. Applicants must receive Federal Work Study approval prior to applying.
