In Chapter 9 of 20 in her 2009 Capture Your Flag interview, Louise Davis' desire to serve community interests started early in her San Francisco home, long before she co-founded Peer Health Exchange. Her parents believed volunteerism was part of community citizenship. Davis' mother was active on a food bank board and at a local youth center. When Davis asked to contribute by volunteering Monday nights at AIDS/HIV organization Project Open Hand, her parents provided transportation.
