I understand that you may not work with a Student VISA, unless you have a special reason and file for authorization. However, may a person with a Student VISA, work as a volunteer without pay? May they work as an unpaid intern?

Volunteer Yes, I volunteered for 2 years while on an F-1.

Intern? That I am not sure about since you will actually be HIRED by a company. You might want to check with your DSO (or someone else on here) about that.

You might be able to get OPT through your school which would clear the way for an internship. :)
