I've worked with non profits (habitat for humanity, etc) who were too busy to take on more help. Each untrained helper needs resources to be trained. If you're lucky they need of unskilled labor (or untrained labor - skilled is the wrong word) but if they don't then you probably wont get a call back. I've started some of the work unsolicited. Advertising and fundraising to be precise. I kept them in the loop and eventually they want to be involved. Organizations often need to put more work into allow people to help them but they often need to put more work into everything.
