Modern forms of time exchange, called Timebanks and LETS (Local Employment Trading Systems), have been around since the 1980s. Now, with one in ten Americans unemployed (likely twice that, given recording problems), time exchanges are making a comeback. Timebanks’ most successful application has been to provide a means for at-risk youth who have gone to court to do service for their community. Many communities have created similar time exchange projects, going by names like Fourth Corner Exchange, Village Networks, Richmond Hours, and Austin Time Exchange. Many of these projects also have regular in-person meetings, swaps, and potlucks to help facilitate exchange, trust, and community building.
