Alejandro Mayoral Baños, Executive Director of the Indigenous Friends Group, created the Indigenous Friends Mobile App in 2015 after realizing the need to develop a safe digital space for that community.
With the support of Indigenous elders and traditional knowledge, the app helps post-secondary youth tackle major issues preventing them from reaching their full potential.
The app has three main goals: creating Indigenous youth networks across Canada, helping users access traditional counselling, and highlighting what community resources may be available to youth.
