The most common questions of concern pertained to safety and trust, as many tasks would involve entering someone’s home, and even child care. An overall policy guidebook was created, open for critiques and changes as the time bank grows. Additionally, as part of the vetting process, the group would host a monthly pot luck to meet neighbors and get to know one another. While not a perfect system that can still have biases, it is in the hope that the group can bring members together and each member can make decisions on who they would like to interact with based on their own personal experiences. It was also important to acknowledge that participation within the time bank is voluntary. There will be certain members that will need more assistance than others, as that is the nature of living in community, and the group’s job is not to track hours and be punitive, only to facilitate these exchanges in a safe and open manner.
