Would love to know what happens after they get into Uni or get their PR regarding the continuation of their community involvement.

I get your point but I'd highly doubt anyone would volunteer for fire fighting of all things just to tick some boxes. Much less extreme avenues to go for that.
My point was that in the heat of the moment a lot of people want to do something but it becomes something else when they understand it's gonna be a year to get to a point where they are trained and will that motivation still be there.
