Working as a volunteer on H4 visa...is it possible?

Question

Hi everyone,

I want to ask you a question, if somebody can help me:

I'm on H4 visa and I want to work as a volunteer, my question is:

.....can I work as a volunteer in a place where nobody volunteers, everybody is paid except me( I will not recieve anything, except experience)...so where I want to work it's not a non-profit organization....is it legal? I want just to make sure I don't work illegally.....does anyone know if there is a law regarding this matter?

I know I can work as a volunteer in a non profit organization, like social work, church, hospital....but I would like in different type of organization.....is it possible?.....like in Human Resources or office?

Thank you in advance!

Not all offices will accept volunteers. Some don't even allow OPT's. If they accept you then you may.**
