You’re fine, as long as you show passion in some other activity. Your internship and whatever you do in your busy schedule is volunteering and contributing to the community as well, and may be infinitely more important for yourself and the community than volunteering as a volunteer “venue.” Don’t think that you need to clean up trash or build habitats for low income families just to “volunteer.” The activities you’re doing now is volunteering as well, but in a different category, and has other important aspects to not warrant being called volunteering.
