It's called having boundaries. I volunteer on the weekends and some weekdays at a local homeless shelter. I volunteer at the local library. I will be volunteering at our local food bank to help support food insecure families. It's a good way to get grounded in your community and impart some real positive impact on your fellow neighbors.
What I will not do is be exploited for free labor by the USGS who can absolutely afford to pay someone to do the contract work they are asking for. But by all means, if you want to, go for it.

Where exactly are you drawing the line before using scare quotes around volunteering? Is 10 hours a week too much? Is requiring transportation too much? Would working at 5,000ft vs 7,000ft be ok?
For what it’s worth: if I were at a time in my life where I could do the linked opportunity, I absolutely would. Even better would be an Antarctica opportunity for a winter season.
Depends on the person, but requiring anything over 30 hours a week to me is part-time work commitment, and compensation is deserved

Quite a few of these "opportunities" are asking a LOT of volunteers, implicitly asking for unpaid labor. These are not your typical "volunteer a few hours a week helping fix up a school/sorting at a food bank/helping the homeless" to give back to your community.
Look at this[1] particular ask:
> Applicants must be available to work a minimum of 32 hours per week.
> [minimum 3 month commitment with possibility to extend to a year] ... Weekend and holiday work is required.
> shovel snow for extended periods of time, hike-ski-snowshoe in extreme weather conditions with a 35-pound backpack at 7,000ft, live in remote locations with regularly snow packed roads.
> Groceries and shopping facilities are approximately 60 miles away; reliable personal transportation is required.

How do you make this designation?
1. Open Reminders.app
2. Add List
3. Set "List Type" to Grocery

Tell me, objectively, how NPR is irrelevant?

Not without a significant amount of money. Also to get something out of the way, anyone who would "quit" because their employer mandated RTO is an idiot. Let them fire you and collect unemployment.
I moved from SF to Utah in ~2018, and managed to buy a few rental properties since then, and despite my "income" not keeping pace with my peers in the city my wealth is exceeding them. So the first thing is, the money argument is holding less water every day that goes by.
Second, say I went back for more income. The city is not the same city that I left, in fact it's gotten much worse. Why would I want to live in a place where you wake up to sirens, human feces, a government that hates you, and wants to extract every dollar for their failed social experiments? Especially during COVID when they decided to take any shred of trust I had left, set it on fire, and then threw lighter fluid on it.
So my answer is somewhere between "Hell No" and "Maybe for a wheelbarrow full of cash"

This is hilarious. You don't have to worry about the financial aspect of your job when you can collect extra income every month as a landlord.
