Ensuring Compliance with HR Issues When Using Volunteers and Interns
(August 20, 2026)
Volunteers (interns, externs, field placement students, Corps members, fellows, etc.) power nonprofits — but misclassifying them can create serious legal exposure. This practical, interactive session covers the basic rules in plain language: what makes someone a true volunteer instead of an employee under California law, how interns are different, what you can (and can’t) give volunteers, and the obligations as a nonprofit organization employer — harassment protections, workers’ compensation, insurance — that apply even when they are not on payroll. You’ll leave with a step-by-step checklist and a detailed reference guide. The session includes live polls, real-world scenarios, and a guided Q&A
