in the Phoenixville Area Time Bank
Discover this Hidden Gem!
​
A time bank is an alternative form of capital that builds relationships and abundance instead of pitting people against each other for finite resources.
Our relationships have an enormous impact on our happiness and success. The time we spend creating meaningful interactions with each other improves our wellbeing in every area of life.
​
Let’s be honest…when we are driven to compete against each other and money matters more than people, we all lose something.
The Time Banks USA Initiative recognizes that people are the real value. Edgar Cahn designed time banking to fill in for the shortcomings of society. Click here to read more about Dr. Cahn.

Phoenixville Area Time Bank is a nonprofit with some key differences from other volunteer organizations:
​
​
-
​Reciprocal services
Those who receive help from a charity may not have a way to give something in return. At the time bank, everyone can offer something.
-
Collaborative volunteering
You can volunteer your services to one person, or volunteer with other time bankers as a group to help out another nonprofit organization.
-
Choose what you do
You choose how to volunteer your time. Put time into your hobbies, making friends, and learning new skills, if that’s what you decide.
-
No time commitment
You can volunteer as often as you like or just once per month. You can receive an hour of time from someone to free up your busy schedule or knock something off your to-do list. You can give someone just an hour, or three if you want.​
There’s a lot of value when you become a member of the time bank.
-
When you join, you get immediate access to neighborhood resources you wouldn’t know about except through the time bank.
-
It’s a much faster and easier way to meet your neighbors, give back, and find help. Using time banking software for posting requests and offers or searching other members’ talents saves time.
-
Finding opportunities or needed services can cost hundreds of dollars but through the time bank you may be able to find what you need and pay for it in time dollars, saving a lot of money.
-
Time banking is a huge part of the future and more important than ever if we want to be a collectivist, versus individualistic, society.
Only 8 towns in Pennsylvania have a time bank.
Many people don’t know what a time bank is.
