CPA experience in CA?

I know what the requirements are educationally and experience wise (150 units, 24 business, 24 accountancy + 1 year of work experience). However, what I want to know is: does working for a non-profit (directly under a CPA) as an intern or volunteer count towards the California CPA experience requirement? I know that 170 hours part-time = 1 month of full time work for CPA, but does that also account for volunteer hours as well?

Thanks

    I would contact the California state board and ask them the question. They should have a website with a department for licensing that you can call. I would think the answer would be yes if your working directly under someone who is certified in an accounting role. I'm certitied in Texas and our requirement is 2 yrs. Good luck.
