Not volunteers, per se, but my career has been 20+ years of vaccine and biologic discovery and manufacturing. All non-profit.

Yeah. I'm not saying that no positions can be filled by volunteers or people working for feel-good rather than profit motive... but it's a lot easier to find people willing to do novel research or development than it is to find someone to keep the plant chilled water systems running, or to build the pumps for the plant.
