How big can TimeBanks be?

TimeBanks differ in size.

Many TimeBanks have no more than 25 members while others support thousands of members.

The smaller TimeBanks are often underfunded and under-resourced. We are here to offer the support you need through educational programs, connections with other like-minded TimeBanks, and software to help build your TimeBank community.

Other TimeBanks can span whole organizations, networks, and regions. They can be managed by multiple coordinators working together to support a common goal.

How each TimeBank is structured, and what its focus is on, is largely down to the choices of its founders. Whatever its size or setup, TimeBanks are nothing without the people who drive them forward.

As Margaret Mead famously said: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has".
