Ilha de Ajuda – Volunteering in Second Life

Help Island – Volunteered on Second Life

The Island of Help was born about 18 years ago with a simple and important purpose: to welcome and guide new residents in their first steps in Second Life. We know from experience that the beginning can be challenging. Therefore, our mission is to facilitate this journey, offering knowledge, support and encouragement so that each resident can develop with more security and confidence.

One of the biggest challenges of volunteering is time. Each member dedicates part of his routine to helping others, always seeking to balance this commitment with his real life. Still, we're still very firm on our mission.

Our main feature is the service face on Help Island. Volunteers take turns daily because we believe that human contact makes all the difference, making the assistance more welcoming, efficient and meaningful.

We are an independent group whose vision is inspired by the principles of official volunteering at Linden Lab, the Resident Help Network (RHN). Our goal is to offer guidance, assistance and encouragement to residents who need help, especially those who are starting their trajectory in the virtual world.

Today, the Island of Help receives, on average, about 250 visitors per day. This issue demonstrates the relevance of our work and reinforces the importance of maintaining an environment prepared to receive and guide the community.

Today, we have dozens of registered volunteers. Although not all are active at the moment, for different reasons, our team is formed by 12 Land Managers and 4 Owners, who work to maintain the organization, service and good functioning of the island.

Linden Lab offers an exclusive island at no cost so that we can do this work, offering quality care always in accordance with the Terms of Service (Terms of Service – ToS) from the company itself.

We believe that volunteering, whether in the virtual world or in the real world, has the power to transform lives — both from those who receive help and from those who offer it. We grew through individual achievements and teamwork, strengthening a community based on collaboration, respect and learning.
