    Default Child Labor Laws for Church Internships

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: TX.
    Only recently did I realized that an "internship" which I served in for years for a religious organization was actually child labor. Myself, as well as thousands of other children (aged 12-17), paid to serve as an "Intern" for a church camp, which utilized the children, rather than paid staff to serve clients food, clean dishes, maintain grounds, etc. It's been years since I volunteered, but this is apparently still happening to date. Can I do anything about this?

    I would like for this organization to stop utilizing children in lieu of paid staff, but I am unsure if I can do anything, as they publicly structure the labor as an opportunity to "be God's servant" a la internship. The duties the children perform are not in line with Child Labor laws, nor are the "service" hours required of them.

    Then you can contact the Texas Workforce Commission and make your case.
