We believe in removing ALL the barriers to time banking that we can. This broad based co-production model of networking and development affords us all the best tools forВ sustaining our local communities! HOurworld News We believe inВ Open Innovation!В WeВ implement the best ideas of our members and coordinators. When respect is denied to anyone, we all suffer. Everyone matters, everyone has something to offer, and everyone has unmet needs. We respect where people are now, in this moment. Community is built upon sinking roots, creating special relationships that are built on commitment, and that lead to action. When we help each other, we reweave communities of support, strength, and trust. Alone, we are limited in what we can achieve. The question: вЂњHow can I help you?вЂќ needs to change so we ask: вЂњHow can we help each other build the world we all want to live in?вЂќ

Reciprocity: Helping is a two way street.

We honor, recognize and reward work that benefits our community, such as raising healthy children, revitalizing neighborhoods, living sustainably, and fostering social justice. Equality helps us build strong relationships.

In our вЂњsharing economyвЂќ we value everyoneвЂ™s time equally. Timebanking can enable individuals and entire communities to be more resilient and self-s ufficient, by offering new ways of thinking and valuing time, wealth, and community. Sounds simple, right? Nonetheless, the community-building benefits of this system are unmeasurable! Use the banked time to 'pay' or compensate another person to help you. Earn as many credit hours as the time you spent providing help. Timebanking is a system in which people earn time credits for helping or providing some service to someone else.
