As an F-1 Student in the USA can i do volunteer work for a hospital or church ?

George L

unpaid volunteer work is ok. paid volunteer work isn't.

SARAH M

F-1 students are generally permitted to work on the premises of the school that issued their currently valid I-20, while attending that school and maintaining their F-1 status. This work is part-time, limited to 20 hours per week when school is in session or full-time during holiday and vacation periods. Work on-campus is a benefit of F-1 visa status and no additional authorization is necessary.

As for a hospital or church? It's only illegal if you get caught!

No. You are strictly forbidden to work, paid or unpaid. Too often "volunteering" is an illegal attempt to work and get paid under the table, so it's forbidden.
