We did a semi-internship. Maybe more of an extern-ship. We were thinking of a coworking manager and a friend was striking out on his own. So we brought on our friend, Chris Godfrey. He did his own gigs but swapped out a FT desk for graphics work and general stewardship duties. Alas, we lost Chris to Rackspace a few weeks ago. Good for him, not so good for us.
Rather than the traditional undergrad intern you might look for grad students or career changers as interns. Be aware that if they are doing it for credit you will have responsibility to report back on their performance. There may be paperwork involved. :-0 Good luck! Looking forward to hearing how it works!
