Welcome to the Santa Barbara TimeBank
IMPORTANT: Please use your real name as your username!
Or the name the community knows you by. Or just your first name. It's really hard for the coordinators and other members to figure out who you are when your username is an alphanumeric code or something like Love Energy. Thanks!
Our Mission
We intend to strengthen the bonds of our community by making it easier to know the needs of our neighbors and to give and receive service. True wealth is in the relationships between people, and interdependence is a cause for celebration. To really express Love, we seek to exchange our most precious asset - time, to make the community stronger, more resilient, and more enjoyable for everyone. Receiving service is as valuable as giving - every time you receive an hour of service, you allow Time Dollars (TD$) to be earned.
Who We Are and Who Can Join
The Santa Barbara Time Bank is egalitarian - anyone can join. We come from many different walks of life and belief systems. We honor each other without necessarily agreeing. We are part of the transformation from the linear, disconnected, competitive system to the emerging interdependent and cooperative way.
