Cohousing-L Mailing List: Community Internships

[Fran Hart (hartmagic]

I'm wondering if any cohousing communities or Coho-Us have offered 'community 
internships'.  Has anyone created a program offering students or interested 
parties the opportunity to immerse in a community and provide housing, 
experience and education on creating and living in community?  

I have a small apartment I rent in my cohousing home (posted on Coho-l earlier 
today) and I'm curious if this could be a greater opportunity.  Is there a need 
or a market for community internships?  I know many people are looking to learn 
and experience more about how to create and live in community and I'm looking 
for ways to bring in more integrative livelihood.

We have interns at our farm, most of them join us through WWOOF, The World Wide 
Opportunities on Organic Farms.  They link volunteers with organic farmers and 
help people share more sustainable ways of living. www.wwoof.org  I like the 
resourcing and networking components and I'm looking for ways to include cash 
flow.

Any ideas or experience?
Cheers,
Fran Hart
