Actually, working for free is a bit more complicated than that. And is a bit of a conversation. The very basics. As an employee, you have to receive at least minimum wage. But employees can receive commissions (and overrides, etc.), so that you could be paid on the back-end--being paid for performance: what you did for the organization. A freelancer can charge whatever she wants, including $0. But the Department of Labor has specific guidelines about who is a freelancer (independent contractor) and who is not.

Thanks for the info! I asked for a volunteer or intern position. They recently posted a paid PR/marketing intern position, which includes writing, but the owner has ghosted me at least two times now. I'm not sure if I should apply. I think I will follow the other suggestions listed here.
