Thanks for signing up to join the New River Valley TimeBank!
To make sure everyone is part of a safe and welcoming online community, there are a few more steps that we ask you to participate in before we approve you for our TimeBank:
1) All members must attend an orientation session to learn how to make exchanges as a TimeBank member. Orientations are typically done online using Zoom, at times that are convenient to applying members (most sessions take no more than an hour). We will be in touch with you soon with information about upcoming orientation sessions.
3) At the end of your orientation session you will be asked to sign a Membership Agreement, in which you will agree to follow the Good Neighbor Policies of the NRV TimeBank.
4) We care about the safety and security of our members, and conduct a background check on all applying members as part of the orientation process. If you are able, you will be asked to pay a one-time fee of $20 to cover the cost of the background check. If you are unable to pay, we will be happy to provide you with a scholarship to cover the cost. We'll give you more information about this at the orientation session.
5) Once you have completed these steps the TimeBank Coordinator will approve your membership, giving you full access to the website.
We'll work as quickly as we can to get you through these steps.
In the meantime please get in touch if you have any questions!
Your NRV TimeBank Team
