In the past volunteering was considered working. If you had open work rights in Taiwan you were allowed to also volunteer. If your status in Taiwan did not allow you to work then you might have been able to get permission to volunteer by contacting the relevant authorities. However, recently the Ministry of Labor (Labour) changed their policy. I don’t know if you can speak Chinese, so here is an English version of the policy: [drive.google.com/file/d/0B\_cMgk … Q4RHM/view](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_cMgkH25RJ-Zk5ZZE80cHQ4RHM/view)
