Teen Second Life
Teen Second Life is an international gathering place for teens 13-17 to make friends and to play, learn and create. It’s more than a videogame and much more than an Internet chat program – it’s a boundless world of surprise and adventure that encourages teens to work together and use their imaginations.
The D.I.D.I. Initiative
Youth Venture is has partnered with Global Kids to launch The D.I.D.I. Initiative Island in the teen grid of Second Life. The D.I.D.I. Initiative Island is a place for teen residents to learn about important social and health issues including poverty, food insecurity, social exclusion and discrimination, poor housing, and vulnerable populations, and to launch their own Ventures to address these issues. The Ventures can take place entirely within the virtual world of Teen Second Life, in the real world, or some combination of the two!
