Jeonbuk Province to Implement Volunteer Mileage System Starting December

Revision of Volunteer Activity Support Ordinance... Use Like Cash Based on Volunteer Hours

[Jeonju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] The Jeollabuk-do Volunteer Center (Chairman Kim Kwang-ho) and 14 city and county volunteer centers will recognize the social value of volunteer activities and implement the "Jeollabuk-do Volunteer Mileage System" from December 1 to integrate the operation of the volunteer incentive system at the provincial level.

According to the province on the 30th, the Jeollabuk-do Volunteer Mileage System grants mileage based on volunteer activity hours, which can be used like cash at mileage usage locations within the province.

The places where volunteer mileage can be used include 52 public facilities managed by the province and city/county governments, over 150 "Gati Stores," and the "1365VIP Platform (Cultural Communication Company)" where various performances and exhibitions can be accessed using mileage.

Jeollabuk-do revised the "Jeollabuk-do Volunteer Activity Support Ordinance" to allow the use of six public facilities including the 119 Safety Experience Center, Provincial Art Museum, Children's Creative Experience Center, Comprehensive Shooting Range, National Sports Center Swimming Pool, and Renewable Energy Theme Experience Center.

Accordingly, the city and county volunteer activity support ordinances are being revised sequentially, enabling mileage use at 52 public facilities this year, with three more to be added next year.

Additionally, the provincial and city/county volunteer centers, along with over 150 "Gati Stores" that recognize the social value of volunteer activities and share the same spirit, provide services together.

"Gati Stores" are shops that have signed franchise agreements with volunteer centers and offer discounts to holders of the Jeollabuk-do Volunteer ID card, providing various benefits at restaurants, accommodations, landscaping and floriculture, beauty salons, hospitals, and more.

The Jeollabuk-do Volunteer Mileage System is designed so that all volunteers in the province can accumulate and use mileage fairly and equally under the same standards, unlike mileage systems previously implemented in other metropolitan cities and provinces, with active participation from the province and all 14 cities and counties.

The first issuance of the Volunteer ID card will begin on December 1 at the provincial and 14 city/county volunteer centers. Anyone with more than 100 hours of volunteer activity within five years from the application date can apply, and those who already possess a city/county volunteer ID card can request a replacement issuance.

Applicants can apply online through the Jeollabuk-do Volunteer Center website, and for other inquiries, they can contact the respective city or county volunteer center.
