Funny you should say that, amother 10:11. When I was on the board of my synagogue-- only because friends roped me into it--I got more satisfaction from coming in once a month or so and cleaning up the shul's kitchen. It was one part satisfaction seeing the room look nice and orderly, three parts aggravation at the filthy slobs who would leave their dirty napkins and half-eaten slices of cake lying around when there were industrial-size trash bins right there. I started doing this out of love for the shul and feeling it was a disgrace for the kitchen to be such a mess. I quit because doing this job was destroying my ahavat habriyot and the frustration was threatening my mental health. Now I just stay away from the kitchen and don't look.

if you set clear rules, and both of you are healthy emotionally, it should go well.
if some people's bad experience make one avoid that thing, no one would give birth! people had bad experiences with volunteer work, but so do many many people have with paid work
as long as you come in to it with the right perspectives, set up clear rules, evaluate the situation from time to time, you should be fine
