When I took art classes, we, the students, took turns modeling as needed. Of course this was in high school so no nudity was involved as would almost certainly be the case for more advanced study.
I don't know about the "lousy poses" issue. To me it seems like the model just needs to be passive and have the endurance to hold a pose, not make or dream up a good pose. The pose itself must be up to the instructor to dictate, the model strikes the pose, the instructor corrects as needed, then the model needs the strength and patience to hold it.
So I would say that if you are interested, start asking around for where to volunteer or even sign up to be paid to do it. Call local art schools and also local private art teachers and I'm sure you'll find opportunities. I could be wrong or uninformed on this point, but I never heard of classes on how to model.
