Mission and Values

The mission of The Valley Time Trade is to:

Core Values of the Time Trade:

Assets: We can all be valued contributors.
Every individual has valuable experience, skills and connections to contribute to the wellbeing of others in their local community.

Work: Some work is beyond a dollar value.
Work has to be redefined to value whatever it takes to raise healthy children, build strong families, revitalize neighborhoods, make democracy work, advance social justice, and make the planet sustainable.

Reciprocity: Helping works better as a two-way street.
Giving and receiving are the basic building blocks of positive social relationships and healthy communities.   

Social Capital: Networks make individuals stronger.
Networks are stronger than individuals. Community is based on putting down roots, building trust, and creating networks.

Respect: Respect for all means accountability to all.
Our respect for our neighbors, our communities, and our planet, is displayed by being accountable for our behavior and actions.
