Youth TimeBanking Global is a community service practice for supporting youth to increase awareness of community organizations and expand their social connections. YTB is experiential learning in the interests of building community. YTB introduces youth to principles of co-production and servant leadership. When youth are involved with community, they strengthen their connections to their community and learn about Civic Engagement. As youth continue with YTB they experience co-production -- a model in which each person contributes to the design and delivery of projects or services.
YTB's Vision is that all youth transition to adulthood with the experience of contributing service to their community. YTB is a system of service exchange that leverages the talents, capabilities, and energies of youth so that they are viewed as partners and co-producers to achieve shared goals and work towards shared visions in our communities.
