Special Programs

We have various special programs within the Time Trade Circle that complement the usual trading that goes on. These programs help connect members and give them more chances to trade. These are some of our established projects and subgroups.

Organizational Members

Sometimes we have organizations as members, such as the Margaret Fuller House. They contribute things to the TTC such as space, admin help, etc. and in exchange they get members to volunteer for their organization.

Childcare Group

Many people in the TTC are interested in giving and/or receiving childcare but have to be careful about who they and their children feel comfortable with. The childcare group organizer keeps a list of interested members with more information specific to their childcare needs and skills. She also organizes periodic meetups so that members can meet each other and their children before they choose who to trade with.

Dog care Group

Many people in the TTC are interested in giving and/or receiving dog care but have to be careful about who they and their dogs feel comfortable with. The dog care group organizer organizes periodic meetups so that members can meet each other and their dogs before they choose who to trade with.

TTC Care Group

The Care Group, which is just getting off the ground, is organized to help members who find themselves with a sudden or temporary need for lots of help. In this program, care coordinators will find members to help and make sure the person gets all the help they need.

Interest Groups & Outings

Our members are invited to organize smaller Time Trade Circle events focused on a certain topic or interest. For example, a book club, a knitting circle, or a games night. It could also be a group outing, like a trip to a museum or park. This helps members connect with people and make friends within our community and the organizer can earn hours for doing it.
