Can you launch a Venture in a virtual world to create real change?
Youth Venture invites you to explore the virtual world of Teen Second Life and find out how you can launch a Venture there!
What is 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.
What is The D.I.D.I. Initiative?
The D.I.D.I. Initiative is a partnership in Second Life between Youth Venture and Global Kids to improve health and healthcare. Through generous support of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the D.I.D.I. Initiative provides young people the seed funding and the support they need to launch their own ventures that create lasting community benefits. The Ventures can take place entirely within the virtual world of Teen Second Life, in the real world, or some combination of the two!
