Community Track

Community Track is a mobile application that incentivizes and verifies community service activities. It allows users to post proof of good deeds, which are then automatically verified using AI and expert validation from partnered NGOs. Upon verification, users earn tokens, which can be used to purchase online courses and resources, and badges, which they can proudly display on their LinkedIn profiles to bolster their community service credentials for college applications and goodwill. This platform not only rewards users but also helps NGOs gain greater visibility and connect with students, fostering a collaborative environment for social good.
