Because it is an incredible amount of work. I speak as someone who has just done it - 2706 is a new community team spearheaded by four founding mentors including myself, and we recruited about a dozen other awesome mentors, and it is STILL an overwhelming amount of work for all of us.
I would invite you to ask an honest question. When you say "I am not allowed to do anything", are you really saying "I am not allowed to do the things I want to do" or "I am not allowed to do the things I perceive as important"? Are you perhaps being asked to do other things, things which you are dismissing as unimportant or uninteresting?
The best thing to do is talk openly and honestly with your team leadership. I know there have been times when students and mentors are in the same room and the students are thinking "I'm bored, I have nothing to do" and the mentors are thinking "how are we going to get all this done? I wish the students would step up more!" Talk to each other!
