Yahoo! Launches Spanish-language Internet Education Program

Oakland, Calif. -- Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO), a global Internet communications, commerce and media company, today unveiled Camp Yahoo! en español, a Spanish-language Internet education initiative, which offers training and materials to schools and not-for-profit organizations to help introduce people of all ages and backgrounds to the Internet. To implement this program across the country, Yahoo! is working together with several not-for-profit agencies, including Aspira, NetDay, PowerUP and the Points of Light Foundation.

Camp Yahoo! was developed by Yahoo! as a basic Internet instruction package designed to strengthen, support and complement technology initiatives in underprivileged communities throughout the United States. Authored in English and Spanish as a printed and online training curriculum, Camp Yahoo! aims to "train the trainer" by offering materials and hands-on training to qualified instructors. The program is available free-of-charge to any qualified not-for-profit organization, community center, library, school or service group in need of resources to facilitate Internet education and increase general knowledge of how to use the Web.

Camp Yahoo! en español was created to meet the growing demand for Internet education among one of the fastest growing population groups in the United States. This program is specifically targeted to people whose primary language is Spanish as well as those who prefer to navigate the Internet in Spanish. According to a report by the United States Department of Commerce, Hispanic households currently have one of the lowest Internet penetration rates but exhibit one of the highest adoption rates among American households.

"Yahoo! is delighted to introduce the Camp Yahoo! instructional program in Spanish as another resource to help extend and increase access to Internet education among Hispanics throughout the U.S.," said Heather Killen, senior vice president of international operations at Yahoo! Inc. "By implementing Camp Yahoo! en español in schools and not-for-profit organizations, we hope to ensure that more people have access to the training and education necessary to take full advantage of the Internet."

The Camp Yahoo! initiative, introduced earlier this year, was developed to meet four basic Internet education objectives:

• To make the Internet easy-to-use for the average person--providing tips about how to get online and how to find information and services on the Internet quickly and efficiently.
• To demonstrate how the Internet can be used in many aspects of everyday life--providing useful and important information about discovering content of interest to people of all ages.
• To provide an appropriate child and adult Internet experience in a safe way--providing age appropriate information such as how to find homework assistance online for children, and how to communicate online for adults.
• To learn about sharing information with other Internet users--providing both children and adults with tips about sharing information and the tools to discover safe and enjoyable experiences on the Web.

"We are pleased to join Camp Yahoo! en español in this educational initiative in the Hispanic community", said Julie Evans, CEO of NetDay. "Through NetDay's Digital Divide Initiative in the Bay area, we have coordinated hundreds of volunteers, businesses, community leaders, and corporate sponsors to provide Internet access to several area schools. NetDay's nationwide efforts have also enabled schools across the country to receive newly installed advanced network connections linking students and teachers to some of the newest technologies of today".

"We are very excited to join Yahoo! en español, as we aspire to empower our youth with hands-on basic Internet education necessary to take full advantage of the Internet and the quality information it offers", said Hilda Maldonado, executive director of ASPIRA Puerto Rico.

"We look forward to working with Yahoo! en español to deliver information and content in Spanish to meet the needs of underserved Hispanic youth nationwide," said Rae Grad, CEO of PowerUP, the nation's leading organization dedicated to helping young people succeed in the digital age. "We are pleased to be working with Yahoo! en español to provide information about how to better bridge the digital divide and provide Spanish language links to kid-appropriate Web sites, which we will feature on PowerUP Online."

The English and Spanish-language Camp Yahoo! training materials have been designed by Internet and educational experts for various age groups, with a different emphasis for children and adults. Materials are available for primary school children (ages 5 to 7), upper elementary school children (ages 8 to 10), middle school children (ages 11 to 13), and adults (teens over 14 and over).
