The role of facilitators is to facilitate voluntary exchanges within a community-based trading system, involving time transfer. Key points include the utilization of a standardized database, time-based work sharing, granting autonomy to facilitators and their hubs to trial the system before formal registration, which is entirely optional. Incentives are provided for assistants that can lead to income opportunities within independent enterprises.
We are amidst a transition where progressive groups are diligently creating new approaches to cooperative endeavors, as reflected in the WorkTrader website slogan: "Join The Cooperative Lifestyle, Save On Income." Facilitators are pivotal not only in shaping a better coexistence but also in actively contributing to a broader societal movement dedicated to strengthening communities.
There are two types of coordinators: those affiliated with groups or organizations and independent individuals. Facilitators are required to use the WorkTrader database system. They are volunteers motivated by a commitment to social service; however, incentives are provided in recognition of their dedicated time and effort, and business enterprises may emerge from their interactions and networks.
It is important to note that coordinators are not employees of WorkTrader.
Initially, it is expected that local people will engage coordinators affiliated with groups and organizations already aligned with developing sustainable lifestyles and improving social conditions. Trading within districts may help pave the way for the emergence of consumer and industrial cooperatives.
WorkTrader serves as a catalyst.
Local trading groups may collaborate with community ventures such as eco-villages adopting the WorkTrader framework, either independently or with WorkTrader. Additionally, the platform is applicable to any assistants who wish to initiate a trading hub in a town, city district, or village, not limited to specific groups.
WorkTrader places special emphasis on developing food garden projects between homes and within communities. A guide is provided to any group or individual expressing interest in becoming a facilitator, as indicated on the website form.
