What is voluntary work

To volunteer, means simply, to be motivated and give one's time or energies to work towards a project or cause that you are interested in. Voluntary work falls mainly in three broad categories: (a) long term, paid positions; (b) short, medium and long term, unpaid positions; and (c) short term expeditionary conservation projects where volunteers are self-funding, which are described in further detail below. - http://www.workingabroad.com/page/10/what-is-voluntary-work....
