Body: <p>The latest stable version of CiviVolunteer creates a volunteer allows to assign volunteers to events. The documentation says "The features for this release focus on volunteering at events, but the design creates a foundation for adding support for volunteering in a wide variety of situations"</p>
  
  <p>Not being a programmer, I am wondering if it is possible through a workaround to assign volunteers to organisations instead of having to assign them to an event.</p>
