Free Staff? Is there another term for this that's proper and also doesn't imply compensation?

Is the word you're looking for "volunteer"?

"volunteer staff" is probably close.

"volunteer" by itself is not, because it implies nothing about it being long-term.

Neither one really gets the connotation right.

Repeat volunteer. Long term volunteer.
