Timebank

Timebanking is a reciprocal service exchange system where participants trade services based on time rather than money. Each person's hour of work, whether it's tutoring, gardening, or caregiving, is valued equally. For example, giving an hour of language tutoring earns you one time credit, which you can use to receive a different service from someone else in the network. This model fosters community engagement, mutual support, and valuing diverse skills, creating a marketplace of services that emphasizes cooperation and human connection rather than monetary transaction.
