Overview:  
North House Folk School is a dynamic, young educational nonprofit committed to teaching traditional northern crafts while fostering life-long learning. The school’s curriculum emphasizes hands-on learning and includes courses ranging from timber framing to northern ecology, birch bark weaving to artisan bread baking.  The North House campus is located in northeastern Minnesota on the shore of Lake Superior and includes two historic timbered workshops (formally warehouses), two recently-built rustic timbered classroom buildings, a small house, and a 50’ gaff-rigged schooner. During a typical year, over 280 courses are featured, hosted by over 100 regional artisans and crafts-people who serve as instructors. Interns play an active role in day-to-day campus coordination, student hosting, schooner education and public programming while also participating in a thematically-focused craft study immersion.

Program Dates & Application Timelines:
> Information regarding our 2010 program internship is not currently available. It is likely that in 2010 we will host two program internships for the full-year (10 month).  The program internships will begin in in early February and will extend through late November.  We anticipate that information regarding these positions will be available no later than August 1st with interviews in early October.  The 2010 sailing internship will most likely remain a four month commitment similar to 2009.
