Can the intern work remotely? If not, where are you located? Does the programmer have to be "young" and a guy?<p>IMO, the best place to find an intern like you're describing is the Computer Science department at your local University. I cold called a well-respected CS professor and ended up with the best programmer I had ever hired. She started full-time three months later.
Not sure where you're located and whether hiring laws apply to internships at startups, but you should consider posting the qualifications you'd like in the ideal candidate and see who shows up -- regardless of age and gender. Who knows, you might be surprised!
