I have been added to an organization that has some private repositories and I need to send them a pull request with some changes but I don't know if I can.
I haven't a paid account on GitHub, so how can I fork that private repo to modify and send pull requests?

Just go to https://github.com/new/import . In the section "Your old repository's clone URL" paste the repo URL you want and in "Privacy" select Private .
Give feedback. Hmmm I understand, private forks can't be made public. You could try to duplicate the repository.
As I didn't find this checkbox for personal private repositories. If so, then you need to: go to your organisation's settings, Member privileges, and check "Allow forking of private repositories" there. go to your repo and you'll see "Allow forking" will be automatically checked after doing step 1, like this.
On GitHub.com, navigate to the main page of the repository. Under your repository name, click Settings. Under "Features", select Allow forking.
As mentioned in "If I fork someone else's private Github repo into my account, is it going to appear in my account as a public repo?", you can fork a private repo (for which you were added as a private user). The resulting repo will still be private, and you will be able to make pull-requests.

You can make a pull request from a branch in the private repository without the need to fork it.
The workflow we are starting to use is:
1. clone the private repository 2. make a branch 3. work on the branch 4. push the branch to the private repository 5. goto GitHub and create a pull request from the branch on the private repository 6. someone else reviews the the pull request and decides to merge it with master on GitHub 7. delete the branch unless there was a problem and it was not merged then go back to #3 If you love us?
