One reason we ask members to attend an orientation is so they can brainstorm possible services with others. You can look at the list of available offers on the website which might inspire you or you can check the requests and say “I can do that!”.

Our membership team is always available for support. Just email us.  And, you can build hours in your account by helping any one of the SSTB’s leaderships teams.  

The hourworld system doesn't send new offers and requests to other members' email immediately. If members don't log in to the Timebank, they will only see new postings in the weekly (Monday) email. 

Sometimes you just need to be patient, but here are some things you can try: Use keywords (e.g., cookies, repair, or knitting) in your request that would show up in a search by members who do log in.  

Also try your own search: When you put a keyword in the search box near the top of the page, the search will return offers, requests, and member bios. First, check the offers. Second, if you find a member's bio that lists skills you're requesting, send an email.  (They may be happy to do an exchange, even if they didn't post that skill as an offer.)
