For our Spring-Summer Quick Take poll, we asked questions about intern and volunteer benefits.
64% of respondents said they do not provide funds for interns.
Some interesting results from the poll:
91% of the respondents offer free membership to volunteers but only 55% offered this benefit to interns.
83% responded that they have dedicated space for interns but only 33% had dedicated space for volunteers.
58% offered internal professional development to volunteers and 88% offered this opportunity to interns.
