Join TimeBanksNYC; Service Pays! You can bank on it!

TimeBanksNYC is a free resource for connecting individuals and organizations that recognize that each person has talents to share, and that the overall community is strengthened when neighbors help one another. For each hour a TBNYC member spends providing a service or sharing a skill with another member, she or he earns a “time credit” for the exchange. This “time credit” can then be redeemed for a service from someone else in the network, and so on.

 

The TBNYC database offers members a clearinghouse of volunteer service offers and requests. With a designated username and password, members can access the database and enter the TBNYC Marketplace to enter individual service offers and requests or read the service exchanges posted by other members.

 

TBNYC is an initiative of NYC Service and the NYC Department for the Aging in partnership with the Aging in New York Fund, Inc.

 

The service exchange categories are:

Arts, Crafts, Music, & Recreation

Business Services

Community Services & Activities

Companionship

Computer & Internet Technology

Education Workshops & Services

Errands

Exercise & Wellness

Health Services & Support

Home & Office Help
