OUR MISSION

In a world where technology is the middleman to almost all relationships, parents face the challenge of protecting their teenagers and pre-teens from the unpredictable and potentially dangerous situations created by tech tools and more pointedly, an imbalanced social media market.

At Igbo, we believe in the power of community and real communication. We believe that by connecting parents and fostering dialogue, we create a safer environment for our teens to exercise independence and practice good decision making skills.

Together, we can navigate this digital age with empathy, support, and a shared commitment to our children's well-being.

the challenge we face

Social media platforms thrive on the concept of popularity, where users are judged by the number of followers or friends they accumulate. The higher the number, the more interesting, desirable and in vogue a user appears. This creates a powerful incentive for users, particularly teenagers to expand their networks continuously.

THE DANGER FOR KIDS

These platforms have become increasingly sophisticated in how they facilitate connections between users. Friend suggestions, mutual friend recommendations and easy instant messaging encourage teens to connect with people they may have only met briefly or don’t know well at all. Further, geo-sourcing tools have become an extremely popular way to see where friends are in real time and even organize events on the fly. This technology can be convenient and fun, but teens are using it to mobilize and gather in large numbers and unsupervised environments. While this may be harmless in some cases, it also creates opportunities for risky behavior and can lead to unexpected and potentially dangerous scenarios.

THE LIABILITY FOR PARENTS & COMMUNITIES

In addition to the real-world danger to our kids, Parents are being held accountable for accidents and incidents related to teen gatherings and underage drinking in personal residences, whether guests were invited or uninvited. Parents and communities are struggling to keep up with the speed at which teens congregate and a solution to the technological gap is needed.
