Hey guys, so I've already done Biometrics appointment since 02/21 and I guess I have to wait for a long time before I get a work permit, etc. I'm very bored and would like to volunteer. I've already signed up with habitat for humanity and did a project a few Saturdays ago but I'd like to do more during the week. I also know it would be good for my Resume when I do start working. However, I'm having difficulties finding places that don't require SSN to volunteer. Does anyone know of any organization that accepts volunteers without SSN or don't require background checks? Please share.

Thanks!

Just be careful not to perform "work" during volunteer activities. For instance, helping Habitat for Humanity or a soup kitchen is typically fine as you aren't taking a position away from anybody else. However, acting as an volunteer (unpaid) assistant or receptionist for a business would likely not be allowed as it is providing experience and relationships as compensation, and is potentially taking a position away from another individual. So just be smart about it. :) And I love the attitude to keep yourself busy during the wait!

 

Soup kitchens (and similar) would be the first thing that comes to mind for me. They are always looking for somebody.

Yeah, I would second the above. Soup kitchens and whatnot are the way to go. Check your local community center for help needed. Just be careful not to perform any work or you could have major problems down the line with USCIS.
