Come be a part of a movement towards a more sustainable, cooperative and caring economy. Whatever your talent or interest, we can find a place for you in BACE or one of its projects. If you already have a currency project, we can help nurture your currency idea into fruition and provide a large, friendly network of others who are interested in or are developing currencies.
“My volunteer effort has been rewarded with my becoming good friends with fun people passionate about complementary currencies, greatly advanced my understanding of the subject, and has a huge positive impact on the monetary architecture of my software projects. I’ve gotten more from volunteering with BACE than I could ever repay.” – Ken Lynch, Founder of Reciprocity

We can present with or without powerpoint for 1-3 hours (average 2 hours) for communities in the greater Bay Area at no charge. For communities outside the Bay Area, small travel reimbursement is suggested.
