FAQ for new members

Ok- so I am a member- Now what?

We have collected here the most common questions and concerns of new members since we have began in December 2011.

We highly recommend attending an orientation (TimeBank Calendar) if you have not already in addition to reading this and the TimeBank member guide. If the orientation times do not work for you, please reach out to have a one on one orientation. Members who have attended an orientation have a much better understanding of how the TimeBank works and how to get help.With any question you have, you can reach out to us for assistance.
