Is it best to work my way into a non-profit agency by volunteering, or would obtaining my master's degree in a related field be a better route?

Well, it depends on the job you want - if the positions you are interested in require a master's degree, then you should get one; volunteer experience alone won't cut it.
However, it needn't be either/or. You can volunteer to get 'hands-on' experience while you pursue your education, then you can have the best of both worlds.

Non for profit doesn't mean no pay. However, if you don't have the necessary experience or skills for the job/position you want, you will have to work your way up in the organization just like anywhere else.
To look for both permanent and volunteer positions go to
