Our mission is to make the internet more inclusive for everyone.

youBelong was started by two brothers, John and Christian Ciocca. As the first social app for people with differing abilities, our focus was on accessibility and the safety of users. People from around the world use youBelong to connect with their friends.

​

To ensure that users have a positive experience on the platform, we developed technologies that can detect and stop cyberhate. Parents can rest assured that their child is safe while online and our users feel empowered to finally use social media just like their peers do.

​

As youBelong continues to grow, we are working on offering a suite of services for people with differing abilities. For example, youBelong Cash, a brand new ABLE account experience. Parents should have to worry less about paperwork and spend more time watching their child succeed.
