The requirement is one weekend per month...could you, if you wanted, volunteer to work two or three and be paid?

The question may be, "can you drill more and get paid?" Most units will allow you to drill, or perform what are called "mandays" for points only. The points are accrued and are part of what determines if you have a "good year" for participation in the reserve/guard. They also influence to some degree what you can expect for your retirement pay if you decide to go that far.
Many units will also allow you to work for points only if you miss a drill weekend.
As far as getting points AND pay... that depends on your unit's budget. Pay is also determined by the category of time you are utilizing. A typical drill weekend allows you to get paid for four days of active duty (each four hour block is one day of AD pay). If you do mandays, or other training days, it will likely be the same pay as the regular active duty force. one day of work = one day of pay.

I've talked to my chain of command and they've told me I can drill every weekend if I want, but I will only get paid for one. Maybe because Kansas is poor, I don't know. Ask your chain and command. They will find out for you.

Each unit is allocated money for something called ADT which is for addition duty training. You can ask your command if they have any of those and put in for them. If they do you are authorize up to 30 and can be waived up to 180.
Hope your company has money

If you want to do that much extra why don't you consider active duty.
