    Kimberly,

    We offer a similar program at the Frye Art Museum in Seattle. We aren't
    specifically working with one local university. We post with all the
    area universities. We accept preservice teachers, art history, art
    studio, education, ed. psychology type students. Our program goals are
    very similar to yours, but I've found that it's necessary to cater the
    goals to be quite specific to each intern. My ed. psych. student is
    working on play therapy programs for at risk youngsters from area
    community centers. A former preservice teacher created classroom
    outreach kits for teachers to borrow. The emphasis of most internships
    here is to conduct school programs and with my help complete independent
    projects that help define their ed. goals as well as help me get my work
    done.

    Currently, we don't offer credit to our interns, but we do pay them $8
    per hour. This has proved to be a great investment. They show up, on
    time, call me at home early in the am if they're sick (which is rare),
    they work hard and produce quality work. We run two intern sessions.
    The fall program runs from early Sept. to mid. Dec. The spring session
    runs from mid. Jan. to mid. June. I hire two or three interns for each
    session. Their on the clock about 12 hours a week, some chose 8 hours
    due to class schedules. What amazes me though, is how often I find them
    studying in the galleries or museum library, on their own time, all
    three together trying to align their program goals!
