I believe the answer is:

good-for-nothing

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'useless' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'person volunteering for charity work?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'person' could be 'good' (good person is a kind of person) and 'good' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'as' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for good-for-nothing that I've seen before include "Ultimate sale bargain" , "Worthless person" , "Waster" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
