As a teacher and as one who volunteers with various non-profits, I have long been confused about the concept of forced volunteerism. This oxymoron seem lost on a lot of people.
I prefer to organize volunteer opportunities for my students and explain the need for each of us to help others from time to time. The final decision to volunteer, however, I leave up to each student.

I wouldn't consider this forced volunteerism... anymore than I am forcing them to come to practice or games. If you miss a game, and I don't know ahead of time, or there isn't some emergency - you are off my team.. No questions asked. First day of tryouts - when I explain the contract to parents and players, I let them know that we will be doing 2 events in the community
I do understand you point though...
