>Some folks were attributing this to generational differences and eagerness/willingness to volunteer.
The far bigger issues:
Cost of living. So many people just can't afford to volunteer. They can't afford gas,, they can't afford childcare.
Lack of awareness about volunteering. Many organizations, like volunteer fire stations, have not switched out they've been recruiting volunteers for decades.
If you visit the r/volunteer subreddit, you will see young people BEGGING to volunteer.
