Facilitators And Opportunities

Facilitators play a key role in community-based trading systems, facilitating time exchanges and work-sharing within local networks. They record hours worked, but monetary exchanges for services are arranged as agreements between individuals. Key points include:

• Time-Based Work Sharing: Facilitators help organize and track hours worked within the system.

• Autonomy & Teamwork: Facilitators work in teams of 3 or more, testing the system within their districts before formal registration (optional). A waiting list is conducted.

• Incentives: Facilitators are offered incentives that could lead to income opportunities in independent enterprises.

• District-Specific Facilitators: Each district has 3 or more facilitators, some of whom may be nominated by local organizations like charities or volunteer groups.

• Voluntary Role: Facilitators are volunteers committed to social service, but are recognized for their efforts through incentives, such as voluntary transaction fees and setting up trading markets and stalls.

Important Points:

• Facilitators are not employees of WorkTrader.

• Facilitators use a local WorkTrader database system for managing local trading records, supported by WorkTrader’s backup systems.

• Collaboration with Local Groups: Facilitators often work with community groups, such as eco-villages or cooperative ventures and social service organisations.

• Focus on Sustainability: Special emphasis is placed on food garden projects within communities, however this can extend to local products

  and industry development like entrepreneurs.

  
  

WorkTrader serves as a catalyst for local cooperatives, helping foster community resilience and sustainability.

Interested individuals can join the facilitator network by registering through the website or contact facilitators via a social media blog, who will then issue an email address.
