‘A Really Fascinating, Kind of Insane Idea’

Second Life is surreal both in its ability to bring people from across the globe together in one space through the click of a mouse and to open both fundraising and friendraising opportunities for organizations that are willing to work within its incredibly realistic environment.

Global Kids, a New York educational organization that works in schools to prepare urban youths to become global citizens and community leaders, has been down with Second Life for more than a year, building on its programs through Global Kids Island. Located in the Second Life teen grid, Global Kids Island teaches young users about social and world issues.
