Meet CBC Toronto's Community Champions, including a man who made an app for Indigenous youth
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.
