What is a TimeBank?
-We All Have Skills to Share-
The Sedona-Verde Valley TimeBank networks people across the generations who are interested in sharing their services, with those who are in need of them.
TimeBanking is a community exchange system in which people are able to obtain needed services.. for free!
Each hour of service costs a recipient one Time Token. One Time Token is earned by providing one hour of service to another member. Round and round it grows! Reciprocity in Action!
One hour of time = 1 Time Token.
