Wikipedia article "Volunteer".
A volunteer is someone who serves in a community or for the benefit of natural environment primarily because they choose to do so. Many serve through a non-profit organization – sometimes referred to as formal volunteering, but a significant number also serve less formally, either individually or as part of a group. Because these informal volunteers are much harder to identify, they may not be included in research and statistics on volunteering.[citation needed]
By definition, a volunteer worker does not get paid or receive compensation for services rendered.
