This is a risk of volunteerism in general. I think this is why you often see age gaps in organizations. You have a lot of young people who can’t pace themselves, and 3/4 of those who decide to stick around are gone in 2 years. I suspect that it’s a small but not insignificant contribution to young people moving somewhere else and starting over. I just need a change of pace...

Someone just a couple years ago wrote up an opinion piece in which they asserted that the standard oath for volunteers should be “I promise not to burn out”.
