I've been looking for ways to get models too. Today I decided to place an ad on freecycle.org. It's a site where you're only allowed to post items that you are giving away free. Well, I posted a "Free charcoal portrait" ad today, and have already gotten seven responses from people who seem eager to participate. I don't know how many of them will follow through, but if I got seven responses in just a few hours, I think I'll be able to find models for sessions a few times per week.
I'm hoping to do fairly sustained poses, but we'll see how tolerant they are of it.
Some respondants expressed a desire to pose for paintings. I'm not sure they know how long that will take, but we'll see how it goes.
