    Yes and that’s why volunteer fees are nowhere near minimum wage. It’s basically a way to compensate all sort of volunteers helping out non-profits. IMO it’s quite a good system and more of a symbolic then a real pay.

      Brother, that is the problem that I’m trying to highlight…if no one worked for less than minimum wage, no one would need a minimum wage…

      Believe it or not, many “non-profits” are not ethical. At least not in the US, I won’t speak to NL or anywhere else.
