Well Nigel has been here a week and is already bored since he can't work. Is he allowed to take a volunteer position? He is an avid cycler so he would love to work at a bike shop or really any place that will keep him busy. Anyone know if volunteering is allowed since he wouldn't be paid?

beaner,

Doing a job that others are paid to do, or that you will be paid to do once you have employment authorization, is not volunteering. That would eliminate the bike shop, but the local hospital, Goodwill, or Red Cross might have something suitable.

Are there any charity bike rides in the area? They're always looking for volunteers. Or, the local park/rec org might have something with bikes and kids.

there is a poster here (Bosco), her husband volunteered with Habitat for Humanity I believe... so i believe that volunteering is a good idea...

if your husband likes bikes... how about volunteering teaching kids how to ride bikes @ a local daycare or something?
