I volunteer

I'll do it

I volunteer is a phrase used when offering oneself for a task, duty, or role without being asked or compelled.

It signals willingness to step forward: Who wants to clean up? I volunteer.

The phrase can be earnest or reluctant, sometimes used sarcastically when someone is clearly being pressured into something they'd rather avoid.
