‹Volluun› is a platform that makes it easy to discover, participate in, and document volunteering activities. With personalized recommendations and gamified features set in a metaverse-inspired environment, ‹Volluun› motivates users to consistently contribute to society. Volunteers can earn playful certifications at ‹Volluun Villages›, where they can decorate with items that represent their contributions. The platform also provides a visualized history of volunteering, allowing users to share their impact within their networks.

‹볼룬(Volluun)›은 내 상황에 맞는 봉사활동 프로그램을 검색할 수 있도록 도와주는 플랫폼이다. 사용자들은 ‹볼룬›을 이용해 지금까지 내가 참여했던 봉사활동 기록을 한눈에 볼 수 있다. ‹볼룬›은 맞춤형 자원봉사 프로그램 추천과 메타버스 개념의 게임화를 통해 사용자들이 지속적으로 사회에 공헌할 수 있도록 격려한다.

장난기 가득한 봉사 인증 장소인 ‹볼룬 타운›은 사용자의 봉사활동 결과를 보여주는 아이템으로 꾸며진다. 자원 봉사자들은 즐겁게 다른 사람들을 돕고 사회적 영향력을 전파하려는 사용자들이 모인 ‹볼룬 네트워크›를 통해 자연스럽게 봉사활동 경력을 공유할 수 있다.
