Volunteering Counts on a Resume
10/22/08 10:08 AM
A volunteer is someone who works for a community or for the benefit of environment primarily because they choose to do so. The word comes from Latin, and can be translated as "will" (as in doing something out of ones own free will). Many serve through a non-profit organization – sometimes referred to as formal volunteering, but a significant number also serve less formally, either individually or as part of a group.
A volunteer may or may not get paid or receive compensation for services rendered.
