I love volunteering. But I only do things that no one else is paid to do. It all came down to my motivation for volunteering, and it was being exploited.

cool
Crankin-it's all cool! I have another 3yrs & am wondering how i'll work n study. I spoke to my mgr yesterday about it & I now have to wait for scheduling options..
Tuck-Yep yep yep. I don't blame you for giving up the volunteer position. We're not PAID to do things!!!
Do you know how hard it is to get people to volunteer for even just 1hr!!!! People really annoy me...

I totally hear you... but I'm not aware of anything that you can volunteer for just one hour. Volunteering is like a part-time job, if you can't be reliable you shouldn't even sign up, otherwise you're just creating more work for people who were counting on your contribution. That's why I don't. I sure would like to, but my life doesn't allow me to be reliable about anything.

event
When planning cycling events, it's always handy to have someone who can give at least just 1hr through the year to help in some way. Trail building, trail maintenance etc.
I think volunteering doesn't have to be a weekly thing either. It's putting your hand up when required....
