ioby Leader Daniel Peterson of Project Backboard is on a mission to re-stripe all 52 of Memphis’ public basketball courts. A former Division 1 college player, Daniel remembers the impact basketball had on his life as a teenager.
Daniel is one of our ioby Benefit Superheroes this year. We can’t wait to see him in Brooklyn!
Thanks to Adam Kaufman and David Leonard for the video!

Time banks are an amazing way for communities to share using time instead of money as currency. The time bank movement is helping neighbors all over the country shift us away from economies based on consumption to economies based on relationships.
2. You earn one “time dollar” that goes into the time bank.
In this video, we present some simple tips and steps to starting a time bank in your own neighborhood.
This video was produced by Good Eye Video, in partnership with ioby and The Center for a New American Dream.
New Dream’s Get2Gether Neighborhood Challenge (happening right now!) encourages neighbors from all over the U.S. to start new ways of sharing to build and transform communities, and timebanks are a great way to start!
