I actually encounter this in one of my groups quite a bit - the volunteer oppertunity looks great on a resume for college kids. The ones that behave like the work is beneath them because they plan on graduating and moving up in the world are weeded out quickly.
Those that took the oppertunity to volunteer because, while it does look good on their resume for when they get out of college, the work inspires them to learn, work hard and help people.
