TimeBanking is not volunteering (unless you choose to donate some of your TD$)!  Many of the services people exchange in a TimeBank are the types of things they already do every day.

For example, those with children are already cooking for them, driving them to activities, and helping them with their schoolwork – among other things.  

If you have a dog and take it for a walk every day, why not pick up your neighbor's dog along the way? Cooking an extra portion of food for someone down the street who is housebound, picking up your neighbor's kids on the way to soccer practice, or helping the child down the street with his homework do not add work to your day.

Even better, TimeBanking helps you gain extra time when you spend the TD$ you've earned to have someone do something for you that you can't fit into your schedule or simply don't know how to do!
