Non-Profits and Volunteers

Are non-profits required by the FLSA to pay minimum wage to volunteers who volunteer full-time for a non-profit with no expectation of or desire for remuneration, yet perform their volunteer work in capacities and positions that are equivalent in nature to the positions of other employees of the non-profit and who meet some of the indicia of employees, such as receiving benefits like health care, vacation time, etc. and are subject to a degree of control by the organization over their worktime, vacation, etc.? If so, does anyone have any suggestions or can point to resources regarding how to structure the workforce to permit full-time volunteers without having to pay FSLA wages?
