TimeBanksNYC is a free resource for connecting individuals who recognize that each person has talents to share, and that the overall community is strengthened when neighbors help one another. For each hour a TimeBanksNYC 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 exchanged for a service from someone else in the network, and so on.

As a member of this community, you can help to:

• Identify untapped skills that you and your neighborhood residents have to offer.
• Foster a sense of togetherness within and between NYC neighborhoods.
• Promote skill sharing as a way of accessing services and support.
