The Royal Oak TimeBank is a community exchange system for neighbors in the Royal Oak and Huntington Woods neighborhoods (or communities) who share their time, skills, and talents to help each other. By helping a fellow TimeBank member, you earn an hour of time (a “TimeDollar”) that you can use to get help you may need. Some ways that TimeBank members help each other include:
|
Teaching a musical instrument Cooking a meal Grocery shopping Walking a dog Providing basic computer lessons |
By exchanging time and talent, Royal Oak TimeBank members build relationships with their neighbors, strengthen community bonds, use personal skills, and help others when we are needed.
TimeBanks are redefining work; they are empowered by the reciprocity of both giving and receiving ones most valuable asset: time.
The Royal Oak TimeBank is currently open to individuals who live in Royal Oak and Huntington Woods.
