What is a "volunteer internship" And is it any less legit/effective than a position that is just called an "internship"??
Found a grants and fundraising position that's called a "volunteer internship". This confused me, since I have usually seen "volunteer" roles and "internship" roles as separate categories. So what's the difference between a "volunteer internship" and a normal "internship"? Would a "volunteer internship" mean less mentorship, not enough learning experience, etc.? Or, is the only difference between this "volunteer internship" and other normal "internships" that it's a nonprofit organization, and potentially unpaid (it was stated that "a small stipend may be available depending on future funding")? It still seems that I would get helpful experience through this role, since I have no grant writing experience. I also got a pretty quick response to my application (literally same day as I applied), and I only had to submit my resume. Both of these details made me wonder if this would lean more into the "volunteer" side than the "internship" side.

How do you choose between multiple job offers after college graduation #Fall25?
I am currently a junior in university, and have secured 2 full-time job offers through past internships. I am also currently freelancing as an independent contractor with 2 other organizations, both of which expressed interest in having me continue beyond my time as a student. Once I graduate, how do I decide between which full-time/freelancing offers to take? What are the pros and cons of juggling multiple jobs/contracts? For some context, I mostly do nonprofit management work, so entry-level salaries are ~$65,000/yr and contract work is ~$25/hr for 10-15 hrs/wk.
