¡Es tiempo! Tiempo Dólar es una nueva forma de moneda basada en el tiempo. Ganas un Tiempo Dólar por cada hora que gastas en proveer un servicio a otro participante. Los participantes fortalecen la comunidad intercambiando servicios y su tiempo es puesto en el banco. ¿Que puedes hacer con tu Tiempo Dólar? Puedes usar tu Tiempo Dólar cuando necesitas un servicio de otro participante. Hay diferentes servicios por ejemplo transportación, cuidado de niños, preparación de comida, tutoría, o reparación básica de casa. ¿Quién puede ganar Tiempo Dólar? Todos están bienvenidos. No importa tu estado civil, tu edad, tu ingreso, o si tienes limitaciones. Lynn Time Bank es una organización sin fines de lucro.
