Is it normal for volunteers to get paid (BR community program related)?

Seems like every local program that gets started, the "volunteers" get some some kind of compensation. Isn't that the opposite of "volunteering"? I've even seen calls for NBR Economic Redevelopment "volunteers" to be compensated.

Baton Rouge officials are hoping that deploying volunteers for community organizing along with a Baton Rouge Police Department mentorship program will help to reduce crime and rebuild some of the city's most dangerous neighborhoods.

The volunteers will also receive a "living allowance" of $12,312 annually, health and child care benefits and they can receive financial awards at the end of their service to pay for education or student loans.

A U.S. Department of Justice grant is helping to pay for the BRPD athletic league mentorship program, but the police officers participating are not being paid extra for it, Judson said.

I agree that’s not volunteering, it’s a job. Not such a bad thing either.

Sounds like they are working for a non profit and not volunteering.

Won't be long until Tarsha is named a board member for her expertise in this field.
