To become a member:
Anyone in the community can sign up to be a member of the Cville TimeBank – and we’d love to have you join! You can use the link on the right-hand side bar to get started. Potential members set up a profile on our member portal, and attend an orientation prior to having their timebank account authorized by coordinators. Once your account is authorized, you can begin browsing current offers and requests – and post your own! To get started, just click the “New Members Apply Here” link in the right sidebar.
Orientation:

*We’re excited to announce our new partnership with JABA’s Mary Williams Community Center in the Jefferson School City Center, and thank the wonderful folks at JABA for making a fabulous space (with lots of easy parking!) readily available to us for orientations on the 2nd Tuesday of every month!
Effective January 2015, the Cville TimeBank no longer collects membership fees. (Good news: turns out our expenses are lower than we anticipated!) We will periodically ask members to contribute toward the operational expenses we incur.
We strongly encourage all members to participate in the social gatherings and special events that CTB sponsors throughout the year. Not only are they fun, but they give our members an opportunity to interact, share ideas, and well — talk! Most events are family friendly – and if you’re thinking about signing up, please come and check us out!
Sign up for our newsletter (there’s a link in the right hand margin) to stay connected.
Member Resources:
I am very interested in joining! However, evenings are a very bad time for me to attend an orientation. Is there any way I can participate in an orientation remotely? Otherwise, I am available Monday and Friday AMs.
I would love to come and get more acquainted with this endeavor. Unfortunately, Tuesdays and Wednesdays I work till 7PM in Ivy. Any other possible avenues to get oriented, etc..
Hi — I just sent you an email – would be happy to set something up!
When is the next new member informational meeting?

Hello , I will be visiting Charlottesville this Saturday, Sunday and Monday – March 29 – 31. I belong to the Timebank in Phoenixville, Pa. (near Philadelphia). Is anything happening on these dates – Farmer’s market, social, meeting , and so on? My email address is

Hi Lorraine – thanks for reaching out. I’ve sent you a note. Hope you have a wonderful visit.
I want to find a group like this that will provide exchanges of services in either Roanoke, Virginia or closer to where I live which is in Montvale, Virginia. Will you let me know if I can make contact with anyone? Thank You. Constance
