Who We Are
TimeBanking was designed by founder Edgar Cahn to be different from money by focusing on our value as human beings, connecting us through the relationships we create through giving and receiving.
TimeBanks are formed when people come together to use TimeBanking to increase our individual and community well-being. The focus is often on exchanges by individual members as they give and receive services to each other, forming a different kind of local economy based on caring and kindness.
However, many TimeBanks include group and community projects like tutoring in schools, health and wellness efforts, hospital discharge support, juvenile justice, helping seniors to age in community, civic engagement and more.
What We Do
Recruit and train under serve communities for living wage of employment.
