Recently, we have been concentrating on visioning and partnerships instead of orientations, but that doesn’t mean we don’t love new members! You can always call 248-812-9382 or email info@ferndaletimebank.org to request a personal orientation!
Or, Royal Oak TimeBank is having an orientation on Monday, March 7th at 7:30pm at GoldFish Tea, Royal Oak. Check it out to learn the basics and get started trading time! An orientation with RO works just the same as one with Ferndale
!
TheĀ Ferndale Timebank serves residents of Ferndale and Pleasant Ridge.
If you reside in the community we serve, please take the time to learn more about what membership in our Timebank means.
To become a member you will have to create a login, the information will be sent to a coordinator to review. We require an orientation to learn the software and timebank basics before activating your account. Keep an eye on our website for orientation dates or check out our Facebook page. You can also email us!
If you do not live in our designated area, please visit the Michigan Alliance of Timebanks website to see how you can join or start a Timebank in your community. You may also contact Kim Hodge, who is the coordinator of the Lathrup Village Timebank.
Contact us if you have questions about our Timebank.
A Timebank is a volunteer membership organization. It is a community of people who support each other.
When you spend an hour to do something for an individual or group, with Timebanking, you will earn one Timebank hour. Then you can use that Timebank hour to receive one hour of a neighbor’s time or engage in a group activity offered by a neighbor.
With Timebanking, you work with a group of individuals who are joined together for the common good. Timebanking brings out the best in people because, as a system, it connects needs with resources and skills.
In this simple way, Timebanking builds relationships and community. You get to know your neighbors and build an extended family of people who take care of each other.
