What is Time Banking? A TimeBank is formed whenever individuals or organizations agree to earn and spend TimeBank Hours to meet the needs of friends, neighbors, and the larger community. TimeBanks range from Small (15 – 20 members) to large (2,000 or more). They can connect with other Timebanks too. Each TimeBank is unique reflection of its members, who they are, the dreams they have for their com
munity, and what they choose to offer and receive. Here is how it works: I earn a time credit by doing something for you. It doesn’t matter what that “something” is. You turnaround and earn a time credit doing something for someone else in your TimeBank Community. For example, an hour of gardening equals an hour of child-care equals an hour of dentistry equals an hour of home repair equals an hour of teaching someone to play chess. The possibilities are endless. How Can I Become a Member? Meadville Time Trade holds potluck dinners at Chaps Agnecy 944 Liberty St. Meadville 3rd floor on the 15th of every month. New and veteran members are encouraged to attend. An orientation for new members is held at a later date at the Meadville Public Library
