Testimonials

Youth TimeBanking is one of the best nonprofit programs I’ve ever took part in. YTB uses time as a currency in aid of motivating youths to give back to their community. The organization places impact on how youth strength can greatly improve community development. My time in YTB benefited my personal and professional values as it has enlightened my perspective on what it means to truly give back. Being a part of YTB, I’ve gained new friends, learn about other cultures and develop new skills.

We are an organisation in New Zealand who have benefitted from YTBNJ!

 

We had young people from YTBNJ design 2 logos for us. They were great to work with and very responsive to feedback and our wishes and many demands! We love the end result they created for our charitable trust and one of our initiatives.

YTB recognizes that systemic inequalities are deeply ingrained in society and must be actively addressed in order to create a more equitable and inclusive community. YTB understand that promoting diversity and inclusion goes beyond mere tolerance; it requires active efforts to dismantle discriminatory structures and practices.
