Goals of Hour Dollars:
1. Equally valuing every hour and building self esteem! Every person has something to give and can benefit through the involvement of others.
2. Increasing spending power! Many people have needs that can't be met with money or aren't affordable.
3. Rewarding volunteerism! By providing services for others, members create friendships, help others with their needs, and receive services they find valuable. |

4. Creating extended family! Neighbors learn that trusting each other, and being trustworthy brings short-term and long-term rewards.
5. Cultivating the village to raise the child! Community members become co-producers of the products and services they need, and the quality of life in their neighborhoods.
6. Uncovering the advantages of a diverse neighborhood! Hour Dollars introduces neighbors of varying ages, cultures, abilities and income levels. |
