I run a not-for-profit and take on interns, on the following conditions: -
The work musn't be core to what we do. If it is (and that can be difficult to define), we pay people to do it.
We do not insist that the internship is full-time, allowing the intern to work elsewhere
The internship is time-limited, usually six weeks
There has to be clear learning and development for the intern
We actively help them find work within our industry, and are successful more often than not (and have hired interns in the past - two work for us now)
We pay for lunch and all travel costs
