== Why I'm Writing This Article ==
I've had the pleasure of working with lots of volunteer based organizations. They are beautiful organic organizations full of color and growth.

When trying to organize groups it is often necessary to speak in general. Quite often these statements will deal with the idea "we should do". With volunteer based organizations, program direction and responsibility is often ambiguous and really up to whoever takes up the cause. This ambiguous responsibility is wonderful because brand new volunteer can really make a measurable difference in an organization, but it is difficult because the ball frequently gets dropped with no one to pin the blame on.

With volunteer based organizations, program direction and responsibility is often ambiguous and really up to whoever takes up the cause. This ambiguous responsibility is wonderful because brand new volunteer can really make a measurable difference in an organization, but ambiguous responsibility is difficult because the ball frequently gets dropped with no one to be held responsible. This is the inherent structure of Volunteer Based Organizations.
