Our Purpose

Brattleboro Time Trade (BTT) is a time banking organization that provides a forum to facilitate the exchange of goods and services for the benefit of the community in and around Windham County. Organization members exchange units of time rather than currency. The Time Trade creates a system that connects unmet needs with untapped resources. By promoting the skills and knowledge of each member and enabling reciprocity, the organization empowers each of us to share our wealth of experience with others, thereby enriching the local economy and community.

Summary of Projects

The group received a grant in 2011 to be used in part as the local match for a 2011-2012 AmeriCorps Vista Volunteer and/or to hire a part-time organizer/coordinator.
