Organizing information in order to communicate effectively to clients and internal staff members within an organization is extremely important. For large corporations and even for non-profit organizations, the most popular tool for communicating to other's is to use the most popular modern techical tool for communication - The Internet. The following paper was written in order to evaluate the communication processes for two of the most popular non-profit organizations in the United States, the YMCA and Habitat for Humanity, by analzying the web sites of each organization. After my analysis took place, I had the opportunity to make suggestions and recommendations on how to reorganize each web site in order to communicate more effectively to volunteers and interested audience members alike on an more international communicative level.
