How does Hour Exchange work?
The concept is simple. You help a neighbor in need and earn one Service Hour for every hour offered. In exchange, you can spend your Hours on any of the hundreds of different services that members offer each other. Exchanging Services is about local individuals, organizations and businesses helping each other meet their needs cash free in one-to–one exchanges or in group projects. Members help rebuild and sustain neighborhood networks and strengthen community as a result of their activities.
This cartoon shows how the chain of exchanges among Service Exchange members might happen and the kinds of services the members of a Service Exchange might exchange.
