The FLY app

FLY was a financial literacy and entrepreneurship app for our youth. It launched in 2016 and is now archived.

A new direction

How the FLY app was born

2015 and 2016 meant a new direction for Ontario Immigrant Network. In the past, we had achieved great success in connecting immigrant entrepreneurs to opportunities. Our team was proud of what we had achieved with limited resources, but we agreed that we needed to find a way to help serve more people while still running a lean organization. This is how the FLY app was born.

The youth of today face serious barriers, challenges, and uncertainty in regards to employment and entrepreneurship opportunities. Our vision was an app that gave youth the resources they need to track financial goals, access educational tools, and connect to other resources.

FLY launched in 2016 on the web, iPhone and iPad, and Android, thanks to the generous support of Libro Credit Union (opens in a new tab) through its Prosperity Fund.

The app has since been archived and is no longer available. Our thanks go to Libro and to the partners who built it with us.
