When may a Nonprofit Work With Unpaid Interns?

Linda will review who qualifies as an intern and provide copies of relevant agency guidance about internships.

Attorney, Linda Frischmeyer, will lead a discussion about interns which will:
·      Clarify when a nonprofit may have unpaid interns.
·      Contrast unpaid internships with volunteers.
·      Identify ‘red flags’ that suggest the nonprofit has an employee, not an intern or volunteer.
Linda will review who qualifies as an intern and provide copies of relevant agency guidance about internships.
In February of 2009, Linda contrasted volunteers and employees in a presentation/discussion for NNSW. If you attended that presentation and have additional questions, this is your opportunity to expand your understanding (get questions answered) about this topic as well. If you weren’t at that presentation, the basics of who is a volunteer will be - succinctly - included here as Linda contrasts interns and volunteers.
