The ceremony, held under the theme "Today We Walk Together, Tomorrow We Continue Together," began with commendations awarded to more than 40 volunteers who dedicated themselves to serving the local community throughout the year. The event continued with the first-ever vision and mission declaration by the Gwangju Volunteer Center, a special performance for volunteers, and a talent show by volunteer organizations, further enhancing the celebratory atmosphere.


The newly announced vision and mission for this year set "an empathetic center, a citizen-led center, and a growing center" as the core directions. It became a meaningful occasion where both volunteers and citizens shared these values and pledged to embrace change and progress together.


Additionally, six volunteer organizations showcased their talents in a group talent show, fostering unity among participants. The "Gwangju City Saxophone Club," which has been active for 15 years, gave a farewell performance ahead of its disbandment, receiving enthusiastic applause from the audience.



Bang Sehwan, Chairman of the Gwangju Volunteer Center, said, "The dedication of volunteers who have practiced sharing across the community has been the driving force for a healthier and warmer life for Gwangju citizens. Looking ahead to the 2026-2027 Gyeonggi-do Sports Festival, we expect volunteers to play an active role, and we will strive even harder to realize a safe and harmonious society created together by citizens, based on our new vision and mission."
