Membership in the timebank is open to any individual, business or organization located in the Chicagoland area.  Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.  The application process includes a virtual orientation.

The goal of these screening procedures to impart some basic knowledge about the history and practice of timebanking, understand the motivations of new members for joining the timebank and help new members to fully understand their role in developing a diverse marketplace of skills which will allow everyone in the timebank to meet many of their needs within a reasonable radius from their home.

Those located outside of the Chicagoland region are encouraged to seek out and join their local timebank in order to help build the capital that exists where they live.  An exchange coordinator from the Kola Nut Collaborative may be able to assist you with identifying local timebanking assets.
