ACEN Youth Internet Volunteer (YIV) provides ICT-skill training for local school teachers and students in the APEC region. They work for local schools as well as local communities to build the ICT network among ACEN members. Planted by YIV activities in the developing countries, the seeds of ICT education help to increase computer literacy, internet-accessibility, and the use of ICT in education throughout APEC's developing region.

YIV's activities concentrate on following sub-fields :

•	Train ICT skills to local schoolteachers, school administrators and students
•	Set up homepages for local schools
•	Collect data of on-going ACEN activities and locally produced multimedia materials
•	Train local YIV
•	Build an ACEN offline network among APEC economies

Through these activities, people in the developing region improve educational opportunities in the field of ICT use, which results in narrowing the extreme level of the digital divide between the "haves" and the "have-nots" in APEC economies. Also, lasting ACEN friendships between YIV and the host countries are built and the ACEN community spirit grows in dispatching areas. Therefore, YIV will contribute in building a background for mutual understanding and international cooperation in the era of Globalization and Information society.
