It provides incentives for youth \n and their families to enthusiastically participate in their own services and in the health of their neighborhood. \n Timebanking offers great supports for families: for example, \"parent aides\" that can provide parenting \n education, organize the house, or offer transportation or babysitting services. Members of Child and Family \n Support Teams can earn Time Dollars from their work with families. Youth can also \"cash\" in hours to \n participate in trips, special events, or for special privileges such as access to computer labs.","bbox":{"left":0.058614,"top":0.172663,"width":0.883505,"height":0.10654199999999997}},{"text":"Collateral Benefit: The New Economics Foundation found that Timebanking increases the mental wellbeing of \n participants by giving them a sense of control in their lives, reducing anxiety, and providing a sense of \n participation and inclusion.
