TimeBanks.Org' history

It all started in 1980.

TimeBanks.org was born to fulfill the powerful vision spelled out by our founder Edgar Cahn.

For three decades as the hub for TimeBanks, TimeBanks.Org has been promoting, developing, and supporting the implementation of timebanking worldwide. We offer educational resources, how-to guides, monthly meet and greet, and TimeBank training, and share several choices of software for community exchanges and outreach.

Edgar Cahn, the father of the TimeBank Movement

Modern Timebanking was created in the 1980s

By American Civil Rights lawyer and political activist, Edgar Cahn, the founder of TimeBanks.Org (formerly TimeBanks USA). He is responsible for its growth from pockets of the world to a truly global phenomenon. The mission was to address social issues arising from inequality and alleviate social exclusion.

Meet our TimeBanking advocates

We are here to help you build strong and healthy communities.

Our vision is to partner with active local TimeBanks to leverage and support their existing programs and energize them as TimeBank hubs and sources of local leadership. Partner with academic and policy-oriented institutions to anchor timebanking’s theoretical frameworks, data-driven evidence bases, and policy innovations for social/systems change. Expand the knowledge of timebanking– both nationally and internationally – as a tool to address social isolation and increase individual and community capacity and resilience.
