2010 OAEC Internship Openings
Administrative Internships
The interns work 25 hrs/week in exchange for a cozy place to live, a subsidy on our food share program (intern pays half of food cost), use of all the facilities on-site, and free participation in OAEC classes/workshops, on a standby basis. The interns take part in the community cooking and chore rotations. Each community member cooks dinner once every two weeks, in contribution to our community dinner schedule.
