People across the United States have created “Time Banks” to help accomplish their goals. According to www.timebanks.org, “You will be working with a small group of committed individuals who are joined together for a common good. It connects you to the best in people because it creates a system that connects unmet needs with untapped resources. To see what happens each week when you are part of Time Bank is deeply fulfilling, especially if you are helping to make it run.”
It’s actually quite simple. You note in the time bank what service you can provide, for example I am good with landscaping and yard work. I could then talk to a community organizer or look online for someone that has banked hours and needs landscaping work done. For ever hour I work, I get one hour of work in return.
Imagine if you own a century home that needs work but you don’t have the expertise, time banking could be an option. If you are willing to put in the hours of work, others will be willing to help you!
