What is difference between volunteer work and unpaid internship? |
What is difference between volunteer work and unpaid internship? nothing---you don't get paid!!! but you may be able to claim college credit though volunteer means you work for nothing, so basically no difference nothing there is no difference. Very little difference, but I think of volunteer work as being more casual, and local. Many times interns are full time and fly in from out of town. The "employer" promises to keep the interns busy, give them some training, and "look out for them." My son was recently a summer intern for Barach Obama in Nevada. There were a bunch of interns working together. Internship- you do it to complete a degree or certificate of some kind. Volunteer Work- to help a cause, court ordered, pass time Volunteer work is to provide a service to someone else.. i.e. helping build a home for habatiat for humanity, reading to kids at the library, driving the elderly to church or the store.. Basicly in most cases, you are using your current skill-set to assist without pay. You are totally volunteer, you assign your own hours, if you want to do it 5 hours a week, so be it. 20 hours a month, that would work also. An unpaid internship is usually a part time / full time job where you are learning a new skillset such as intern at a radio station or advertising agency. They expect you to be there specific hours or for a specific number of hours. You are also learning new skills and gaining experience to possibly make this a paid job for you in the future. Congressional page, 40 hours a week, no pay, to learn the political process... Radio Station Intern.. Coffee getter, hoping to get a little air time and learn the ins and outs of radio production. 20-40 hours a week. theres only a little difference volunteer is somebody who works for free,somebody who does w/ out being forced to do it..an somebody acting w/out legal obligation.while unpaid internship is someone who works free as a trainee in an occupation in order to gain practical experience. |
