I'd email professors who do work, or similar work to what you're interested in. It's a long shot but even if you started out as a volunteer for 8 hours a week it could turn into more. Try to find out if the people recently submitted/received a grant. It's a hard field to get into, usually I think people hire from within - just get your foot in the door. I know it's not ideal, but volunteering is better than nothing, it will get you a letter and possibly a job before you applying to programs.
