The problem with the volunteer part is that volunteers take advantage of that, as in, being lazy and doing things late, becoming dictators, doing a bad job, etc. (I don't know why because you would think you would want to do a better job.) If they were paid, there is more incentive to do something the right way, quickly and efficiently. For example, my kid's team had an assistant coach whose kid got hurt for the whole winter workout. Never came once to lead the workouts, never mind the kid could have come and done something with the remaining working parts....
As an employer, I can tell you that getting paid is completely irrelevant when it comes to the traits you describe. I have numerous former employees that were lazy, late, etc. People are either hard working and conscientious or not. If they are not, a couple thousand dollars will not alter their behavior.
