“…規模和會員
成員人數從20到3200人不等，擁有組織機構從1個月到20年不等。 所有15個時區均為公眾服務，其中一些重點關注老年人（即50歲以上的老年人）以及其他處境不利的人社區（例如無家可歸者，吸毒問題和從醫院出院）。

招聘策略
根據一位時間銀行管理員的說法：
“成員招募存在三個不同級別：（1）鄰居和朋友通過
電子郵件和Facebook，（2）通過TimeBank International和
其他大眾傳播模式（例如YouTube），以及（3）服務組（例如
教堂，老年人群，學校和扶輪社。”…”

“…Size and Membership…
Membership ranged from 20 to 3,200 people and organizations, with operational length
spanning from 1 month to 20 years. All 15 timebanks served the general public, with some
focusing on older adults (i.e., those 50 years and older), and others serving disadvantaged
communities (e.g., persons experiencing homelessness, substance abuse issues and those
discharged from the hospital)…

Recruitment Strategies
According to one timebank administrator:
“Membership recruitment exists at three different levels: (1) neighbors and friends via
email and Facebook, (2) the larger national community via TimeBank International and
other modes of mass communication (e.g., YouTube), and (3) service groups (e.g.,
churches, senior citizen groups, schools and rotary clubs.”…”
