Unpaid internships--unethical? illegal?

<p>

AmericanPatriot, that is not my experience, and I sit on the Boards of several non-profits with six-figure budgets. Unfortunately, that means that the Board members contribute, the President is unpaid, the Executive Director is poorly compensated, and we try to keep it in the black. </p>

<p>Perhaps things at the American Cancer Society are different, but I would suggest that the vast majority of non-profits are struggling.</p>
