Volunteering in a company before graduation

[raminenisandeep]

Hi, 

 

I got an opportunity to come and volunteer at a company which could help me gaining experience and strengthen my resume. 

 

I am really close to my graduation like few months away (finished all work and just got I20 extended till I find a job).

Can I go and volunteer at the company. Is it legal and will I face any problems in future?

 

Thanks

On F1, you can NOT volunteer in a for-profit company.

Talk to your DSO.

I understand that mostly I may not work. 

If at all there is possibility, I have to talk with my DSO and see what they says.
