[Avodah] Volunteers?

[Rich, Joel]

A (too often?) heard response to a call for "volunteers" for community activities is "it can be done by others" so I shouldn't give up my learning time.

1. Does a ben yeshiva or a baal habayit who takes learning seriously and understands that "spare time" is learning time (to the extent possible) have a permanent pass from these activities as long as there are others who don't have the same view?

2. Assuming such an individual has unique skills such that the activity cannot be done by others, is the schar they receive for that activity equal to that which they would have received for learning or is it less but they still have to do it?
