You might also consider sharing your profession only on a limited basis. There are literally thousands of ways to earn TimeCredits in the TimeBank. Q: What if I don't want to offer the skills that I have to do every day?Ī: Even though you are probably a great worker in your day job, my guess is that you have other skills, talents and passions that you might be willing to share. One does not need to be a "professional" to provide services on the Time Bank. Furthermore, do you have a hobby? Do you have a passion? If so, you have something to offer. If you can drive one person to the store, you have an asset. If you can make a phone call, you can be on the TimeBank. If you can offer a kind word, you can be on the TimeBank. Q: What if I feel like I don't have anything to offer?Ī: You would be surprised at how many people share this feeling.
Timebanking becomes the extended family that members choose to honor and respect equally, regardless of their income or training in certain areas. Timebanking hopes to create a "caring community" where everyone's time is valued equally. At a time of economic uncertainty, however, a program like timebanking remembers community. Timebanking is not meant to replace real dollars. Q: How is everyone's time given the same value?Ī: At first glance, it seems crazy that the physician's time is equal to the dog walker's time but that is exactly what is at the core of timebanking. But we are adding new members all the time. Perhaps you can help AND earn Time Credits by hosting a house party to recruit your neighbors!
If you live far from other members your exchanges might start slowly. Q: Do I have to live in the Stockyard, Clark-Fulton, or Brooklyn Centre neighborhoods of Cleveland to join?Ī: No, you can even live in a different county but spend enough time in Cleveland and the surrounding towns to earn and spend Time Credits here. 3167 Fulton Road, Suite 303, Cleveland, Ohio 44109
