No more than two interns will complete an internship at any given  time.  Internship periods will not generally overlap, but exceptions are made based upon each applicant's circumstance.  Internships begin in January and July of each year. 
 
Room/Board:
Free housing within the community will be provided.  Interns will have their own room, full use of kitchen supplies, and use of washing facilities if available.  Interns will have the option of renting an apartment, but availability of apartments is low in Lancaster.
Free lunch will be provided by Orchard Manor on weekdays (M-F) and on any outings interns may attend.  Interns will be responsible for all other meals, but will have use of kitchens within housing.  Arrangements may be made between community members and interns for meals in exchange for household duties, etc.  Interns will be provided with phone number and address of community member that will house them prior to the start of their internship in order to work out details (e.g. what to bring, what is expected, meal arrangements, etc.).  A contract will be formulated for interns and community housing members to sign and which will state expectations of both intern and community member.  In the rare case a community housing placement does not work out, the intern will be moved to another housing situation as soon as possible.

Stipend:
No stipend is presently available.  Part-time jobs may be available in the area, but are discouraged if at all possible.

Liability Coverage:
Each intern will be covered through Orchard Manor policy for accident/injury to self or resident incurred while performing assigned duties on Orchard Manor time/property.

Transportation:
Each intern will need a car in this rural area.  No public transportation is available in Lancaster.  Everything in Lancaster is within walking distance, but there is often the need to drive to other nearby towns.  There will not be mileage reimbursement for extensive traveling.  Any extensive traveling in relation to internship requirements will be made with the Supervising MT-BC/CTD.

Office Space:
An office will be available for music therapy interns with access to computers, office supplies, instruments, and resource materials.
