Community Vines brings community members’ skills and needs together to create local, member-defined marketplaces. We restore local economies and trust to intra-community commerce, where individuals—not institutions—are the providers. Unlike the faltering global economy, these local marketplaces will remain stable, and even thrive, during times of economic turbulence and uncertainty. And Community Vines directly tackles local unemployment and underemployment by providing the means to monetize skills locally, whether as a sole means of income or a supplemental one.
