Time Trade Values

We facilitate Time Trade as a means of recognition for the work contributed by volunteers in our community.

We hope to encourage more young people to volunteer because we believe volunteer work develops a service orientated work ethic and skills that assist the study to work transition.

Some of the skills volunteers can develop include:-

Leadership & team building skills
Relationship building skills
Communication skills
Negotiation skills
Creative thinking skills
Organisation & time management skills

The concept of Time Trade is a social change movement active in 22 countries, across six continents. Started in 1980’s Washington DC by Edgar Cahn as a way to make up for the cutback of social services, Time Trade is facilitated in order to help communities meet unmet needs with untapped resources.
