It is a volunteer skills coordinating center, premised on the conviction that everyone has a skill to share with his or her neighbors. Fremont Time recruits participants, helps them identify and catalogue their skills, matches participants, and keeps records of participation. The more hours of service you perform in the community, the richer your cache of Good Neighbor Points. Anyone is eligible to give and receive services through Fremont Time, and everyone's contribution is valued equally. The ultimate goal of Fremont Time is to foster positive, enriching relationships, creating a sense of community among its members.
Community means everyone, so everyone is welcome and their resources and skills valued equally.
More than just a service exchange system, Fremont Time is about people. Anyone can begin a service exchange network. It just takes a group of people willing to exchange their skills and time with each other. It can happen on the scale of a neighborhood block, a neighborhood, or a city. It can be as simple as inventorying what a group of neighbors want to give then exchanging informally with each other.
