Is an internship considered volunteering?

Say I’m interning at a company this summer; I will be helping employees with some word processing and stuff…

Can I ask for volunteer hours from them (my school keeps track)?
If I can, can I put “intern at X Company” on the application and still have volunteer hours ?

<p>Yup.</p>

<p>Under Volunteer Work, put "Unpaid intern @ X Company"</p>

<p>oh nice thanks</p>

<p>wait, but can i put volunteer work under internship?</p>

<p>if you say that the internship was UNPAID. It's all about specification and clarification, me.mv.</p>

<p>Usually internships and volunteering/community service are two completely different experiences. Whatever you do with your internship experience, choose one category but not both. </p>

<p>No double-dipping here !!! </p>

<p>Check out this definition of an internship...

<p>WHY NOT? (ten characters)</p>

<p>well I probably will put "unpaid intern at X Company" but I just want the volunteer hours on my school transcript because my school keeps track of them</p>

<p>If you REALLY wanted to specify, you could just say "Volunteer intern at X Company", and it would mean the same thing.</p>
