Introducing the Time Trader Blog!

My name is Jennifer, and I am the coordinator of the Time Trader program. Time Trader is a Time Bank, and there are many time banks operating right now across the United States and the world.

If you're new to time banking, check out the links on the right for more information about how it got started, how it works, and how you can get involved.

Time Trader is located in Rochester, Minnesota and has been operational since September 2008. We have over 200 members in an active community with services such as sewing and mending, dog walking, car detailing, and many more offered.

In addition to individual members we also have some organizational members. Our biggest partner is the Rochester Area Family Y and most of our orientations are held there.

So welcome! I envision this blog as a place for me to share information about Time Trader with its members and the larger community, but I'd also like it to serve as a forum where Time Traders can contribute personal stories of their exchanges, their experiences and the ways that Time Trader has enhanced or enriched their lives.
