I totally understand where you are coming from. I decided the preface "I should" is insufficient to move me to volunteer for anything. "I should" responds manipulation and coercion as we know all to well.
I am sure what you found recently was the link between love and desire that sparked your action. That is the only reason I volunteer for anything now.

... Why? Because you're doing it because YOU want to, ... and because you CARE.

I can certainly relate to that. I've refused to volunteer for anything unless I *know* that no harm can come from it...

The thing I have trouble volunteering for is religious organizations. BLECH.
But, yeah, since TWI I am pretty darn fussy about what I agree to.
I've always volunteered in my daughters school and other activities, that always fits me.
Also I seem to have to volunteer in some capacity that doesn't put me working with many others; maybe one or two other parents is all I can do.
