Sustainable Living, Art & Natural Design Intern, Northern Michigan
Our Friends at ISLAND are looking for an intern for this year. This is a fantastic paid learning opportunity in Antrim County, Michigan.
The Institute for Sustainable Living, Art & Natural Design (ISLAND) is seeking one self-directed and contagiously curious intern for the summer of 2010. The ISLAND intern will work in and around the Village of Bellaire in North- west Lower Michigan (50 miles NE of Traverse City) for between 8 and 16 weeks from June to October.
A typical ISLAND intern is interested in plenty of the following: alternative building, animals, architecture, art, arts administration, construction, community organizing, computers, ecology, farming, film, food, gardening, homestead- ing, outdoor work, manual labor, music, philosophy, radical hospitality, radical domesticity, reading, renewable energy, resilience, small non-profit work and sustainable living.
ISLAND Interns are equally at home with a tool belt and a laptop. Interns have real responsibility on a mix of projects both challenging and prosaic. Expect a few fresh blisters, and expect that others will be counting on you, and not just to bring them coffee.
You can download the application HERE.
And check out their benefit concert on April 17th @ Short’s Brewing in Bellaire!

Thanks so much for posting this internship opportunity! Just a quick correction–ISLAND is in Antrim County, across the Grand Traverse Bay from Leelanau County, about 50 miles northeast of Traverse City.
Hello, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any assistance is very much appreciated.
Hi there,
Yeah, spam is a really big issue. I do use a plugin that works really well. I don’t know what you use to format your blog. I use WordPress, which I like a lot, and the plugin that keeps virtually all spam out of the comments is called Akismet.
I still have to delete the spam, and occasionally something gets through that shouldn’t or something gets blocked that shouldn’t, but this is really rare. Akismet also “learns” so when you tell it something is not spam that it has marked as spam, or that something is spam which it doesn’t have marked as spam, it actually listens and changes its rules for you based on that.
If you don’t use WordPress, I don’t know what to tell you because I’ve never used anything else. But my web guy is really good, really honest, and his prices are reasonable. Just go to the “about” page at beginningfarmers.org if you want to contact Chris. His info is there.
I visit day-to-day some sites and blogs to read content, but this web site offers quality based writing.
