Where is the Chicago Time Exchange headed?  What are the possibilities?

The short answer is that the possibilities are endless if people are willing to put in a little bit of work based on their skills and what they like to do.

There are hundreds of TimeBanks around the world that have met people’s needs using TimeBank Hours to pay a portion of rent, to pay for medical expenses, food, massage, therapy, sailing lessons, plays and performances, and coffee at a coffee shop.

The Directors of the Chicago Time Exchange are working to embed the co-production model in organizations in order to continuously generate exchanges within the TimeBank.

We are starting this process with arts and education organizations (like Links Hall), but look forward to working with social service organizations, youth organizations, medical groups and providers, and urban agriculture organizations.

The possibilities depend on what we are willing to work to make happen.  To get involved, contact Seva Gandhi at sevagandhi (at) gmail (dot) com.
