Volunteering is a service performed by someone of their own free will.
Volunteers usually work for community, charitable, emergency or sporting organisations.
Unpaid work of this kind can occur if there's no employment relationship.
An employment relationship can be indicated by:
- organisation control
- obligation to attend work
- no free will to choose whether to attend or not.
