Our website has moved!

While we continue to offer many useful resources on this page,
the official website for Worcester Time Trade is now here:

https://sites.google.com/site/timetradeworcester/home

Our new site has a calendar of events, announcements, our member guide (still under development), a list of recently updated service offers and requests, information about organizational membership, and of course, a link to join our online community and start trading--please check it out!

Welcome!

Welcome to Worcester Time Trade, an emerging community-based organization in Worcester, MA.  Our site is currently under construction so please check back frequently for updates and information about upcoming events.  In the meantime, feel free to explore our recommended resources to learn more about time banking and how people across the country are putting their skills and resources to work to strengthen their communities in these turbulent economic times.

Time banking was recently featured on PBS Now! in a one-hour special called Fixing the Future, along with other community sustainability initiatives like workers' cooperatives and green business design.  The full video and many excellent multimedia resources are available here:

If you'd prefer to just watch the 15 minute segment on time banking, use this link instead.  Time banking appears about halfway down the page.
