El entorno de programaci{\'o}n ser{\'a} Xcode, que junto con el lenguaje Swift 5, permitir{\'a} el desarrollo nativo para iOS. Se utilizar{\'a}n los servicios alojados en la nube de Google, en concreto Firebase Realtime Database y la gesti{\'o}n del control de versiones con Git y Github. La plataforma desarrollada permitir{\'a} visibilizar las actividades de voluntariado a trav{\'e}s de un mapa, cubriendo los procesos de solicitud de un voluntario y facilitando la creaci{\'o}n de una comunidad por medio de un chat de actividad, mediante el cual, los voluntarios ser{\'a}n informados de la repercusi{\'o}n de su actividad. Adem{\'a}s, los voluntarios recibir{\'a}n recomendaciones de actividades seg{\'u}n sus caracter{\'i}sticas para conseguir una experiencia {\'u}nica y personalizada. El objetivo de este proyecto es mejorar la experiencia de los diferentes participantes de un voluntariado comunitario, impulsando su visibilidad y aumentando el n{\'u}mero de voluntarios. Gracias a la digitalizaci{\'o}n se podr{\'a} atraer a personas de un rango de edad joven a estas actividades, eliminando la barrera de entrada que supone proceder a la b{\'u}squeda y solicitud de forma f{\'i}sica. 

Abstract: 

This Final Degree Project is about the development of a mobile platform based on iOS operating system which is a multidisciplinary project in collaboration with the Proximo voluntary Association. In particular, the main goal of this project is be able to provide a digital alternative for current voluntary management and schedule methods existing nowadays which are not using suitable computing platforms to support all community volunteerism activities. The development process will be performed using the latest tools and technologies which are the most novel in real development scenarios. The programming environment is XCode in conjunction with the Swift 5 language which allow us native development for iOS. Cloud services from Google will be used, specifically Firebase Realtime Database and Git and Github platforms supporting persistent storage and version control processes. Functional processes developed for our mobile platform deal with the visibility and visual functions running over a map in order to offer to the users a suitable user experience and usability. Specifically, the mobile platform is able to offer to volunteers all functions related to voluntarism, for instance: creation of a voluntarism community through an activity chat, communicate the social impact obtained by a voluntarism activity, enrol to an voluntarism activitiy as a volunteeer, among others. In addition, the volunteers will receive recommendations for the activities based on their preferences in order to customize a unique and customized experience. Summarizing, this project hopes to improve the experience of the different stakeholders participating wihtin a voluntarism activity, boosting their visibility, social impact and increasing the number of volunteers. As a result As a result of task's digitalization for Proximo's organization, younger people will be interested for enrolling up voluntarism, they will be more attracted for these activities, breaking down the existing technological or physically barriers which produce a wearisomed searching and requesting processes and avoid the increase of number of volunteers.},
