Nanci Fredkin of Monte Sereno possesses both a convivial style and utter competence at any task she turns her attention to. A former executive at Estee Lauder, she's the Pearl Mesta of the Peninsula, the kind of volunteer whom everyone rushes to volunteer for. Fredkin thinks women often use volunteer work to recapture the autonomy they had in their former professional lives. Instead of taking the "Desperate Housewives" route, these women make sandwiches for shut-ins, create ad campaigns for local schools, and talk the chairman of a local Fortune 500 company into a big donation to cancer research.

There is certainly some truth in that analysis, but there is also one life experience that reliably paves the way for a future career as a volunteer. Those women who are most likely to volunteer as adults are those who volunteered as children. Fredkin got started when she donated the proceeds from her lemonade stand to the children's ward at Oakland Hospital. She vividly remembers taking those hard-earned dollars to the hospital, being given a tour of the children's ward, told they would use her funds to buy a new toy for the children, and thanked for her efforts. "Now clearly, volunteers at a hospital wouldn't take that kind of time with a kindergartener," says Fredkin.
