Acting as a guardian angel
How to act as a guardian angel for another member in your timebank. https://youtu.be/oG8KPW4It6Q
A Guardian Angel can be used when a member needs ongoing help with using the website or has no access to the Internet. A Guardian Angel is another Timebank member who has taken on the task of supporting a 'mentored member'. It can be used by parents or legal guardians of minors or others to oversee their Community Weaver activity. It is required for any Timebank members who do not have an email address. More details on Guardian Angels at http://wiki.timebanks.org/wiki/Guardian_Angel
In addition to these tutorials, be sure to check out the "Help Wiki" (http://wiki.timebanks.org/wiki/Help_for_Timebank_Members) in the menu bar
