The company says that already nearly one third of parents and grandparents have been taught or encouraged to surf the internet by a child aged between 13 and 16 years.
Now it has launched a new campaign, , to enlist the support of children in tackling what it says is the problem of digital exclusion.
The site gives tools and advice to help young people get their families online, and deals with issues such as lack of confidence, a major barrier to getting many parents online, and feeling out of touch.
Mike Hughes, head of the BT digital inclusion campaign, said: "Children are very confident using technology and it makes sense for parents and grandparents to tap into their skills and knowledge.
"These youngsters can play a key role in helping to bridge the digital divide and we're hoping that the Internet Rangers campaign is a step towards achieving this aim."
