If a person has valuable knowledge and skills and is pleasant to get 
along with, it's not unusual for him be asked to help with projects that 
benefit the community. Since it's not mandatory to accept, it is 
volunteering.

OTOH, as a rude person who's afraid of social contact and has done 
nothing of value, it's not surprising you didn't know that.
