===Group Charter===
NCI /New Citizens Incorporated is a portal to the Second Life® virtual world.

Designed primarily for new residents, but open to all, NCI offers in-person advice from our team of NCI Helpers and NCI Land Officers classes, contests and social events, interactive tutorials, freebies, help notecards and landmarks, sandboxes for building, a new residents mall, Ginny Gremlin park, games, and newsstands with free in-world publications.

NCI’s offers an extensive schedule of classes and events (over 60 a week), held at our campuses, and at venues of partner companies. NCI classes include basic and advanced building and texturing, clothing and accessory creation, scripting, and land ownership. We also hold other basic SL classes, such as Intro to SL, Using the Search Menu and Maps, Avatar Makeover, and SL Consumer Skills. NCI events include Show & Tells, Parties, Blitz Building contests, New Player Q&A, and our longest running event—our weekly Newbie Salsa.

NCI runs three Second Life campuses: NCI Kuula (the original and largest NCI location), NCI South (at Hamnida, directly adjacent to the South Welcome Area), and NCI Beach (by the sea in the Class 5 Fishermans Cove sim). NCI also manages seventeen NCI InfoNodes, located near or adjacent to Linden InfoHubs (or other areas popular with new residents). InfoNodes serve as "mini-NCIs" with information, freebies, landmarks, maps, and schedules, providing information to new residents where they first rez, when they first rez.

''NCI classes, events, and resources are free and open to all.''

NCI is entirely resident-run and financed and is unaffiliated with Linden Lab. Land and tier for NCI’s four campuses has been purchased by NCI or donated by NCI members and supporters. NCI continues to pay its instructors, even after Linden Lab abandoned class funding in December 2006. NCI is not-for-profit and is funded via through individual donations, sponsored advertising, and by RL and in-world businesses that we conduct NCI-branded classes and events for.

NCI /New Citizens Incorporated is a portal to the Second Life® virtual world.

Designed primarily for new residents, but open to all, NCI offers in-person advice from our team of NCI Helpers and NCI Land Officers classes, contests and social events, interactive tutorials, freebies, help notecards and landmarks, sandboxes for building, a new residents mall, Ginny Gremlin park, games, and newsstands with free in-world publications.

NCI runs four Second Life campuses: NCI Kuula (the original and largest NCI location), NCI South (at Hamnida, directly adjacent to the South Welcome Area), NCI Beach (by the sea in the Class 5 Fishermans Cove sim), and NCI Caledon at Caledon Oxbridge Village.

InfoNodes serve as "mini-NCIs" with information, freebies, landmarks, maps, and schedules, providing information to new residents where they first rez, when they first rez.

NCI--in collaboration with the Independent State of Caledon--operates Caledon Oxbridge, an active Community Gateway (Orientation Island). Adjacent to NCI Caledon, Caledon Oxbridge provides a complete Second Life tutorial for new residents. Based on the theme of a old English university, the Orientation is spread over six "Colleges", each covering a different area of the Second Life interface and world: Avatar Motion, Camera Controls, Communications, Search & Inventory, Avatar Customization, and Money & Commmerce. The tutorial experience includes not only traditional orientation posters, but also interactive exercises, free full avatars, and prizes. Caledon Oxbridge also incorporates three "Residence Halls", offering a short term apartment and prim allotment to new players, and a branch of the Caledon Library.

===Group Charter===
NCI /New Citizens Incorporated is a portal to the Second Life® virtual world.

Designed primarily for new residents, but open to all, NCI offers in-person advice from our team of NCI Helpers and NCI Land Officers classes, contests and social events, interactive tutorials, freebies, help notecards and landmarks, sandboxes for building, a new residents mall, Ginny Gremlin park, games, and newsstands with free in-world publications.

NCI’s offers an extensive schedule of classes and events (over 60 a week), held at our campuses, and at venues of partner companies. NCI classes include basic and advanced building and texturing, clothing and accessory creation, scripting, and land ownership. We also hold other basic SL classes, such as Intro to SL, Using the Search Menu and Maps, Avatar Makeover, and SL Consumer Skills. NCI events include Show & Tells, Parties, Blitz Building contests, New Player Q&A, and our longest running event—our weekly Newbie Salsa.

NCI runs four Second Life campuses: NCI Kuula (the original and largest NCI location), NCI South (at Hamnida, directly adjacent to the South Welcome Area), NCI Beach (by the sea in the Class 5 Fishermans Cove sim), and NCI Caledon at Caledon Oxbridge Village. NCI also manages seventeen NCI InfoNodes, located near or adjacent to Linden InfoHubs (or other areas popular with new residents). InfoNodes serve as "mini-NCIs" with information, freebies, landmarks, maps, and schedules, providing information to new residents where they first rez, when they first rez.

NCI--in collaboration with the Independent State of Caledon--operates Caledon Oxbridge, an active Community Gateway (Orientation Island). Adjacent to NCI Caledon, Caledon Oxbridge provides a complete Second Life tutorial for new residents. Based on the theme of a old English university, the Orientation is spread over six "Colleges", each covering a different area of the Second Life interface and world: Avatar Motion, Camera Controls, Communications, Search & Inventory, Avatar Customization, and Money & Commmerce. The tutorial experience includes not only traditional orientation posters, but also interactive exercises, free full avatars, and prizes. Caledon Oxbridge also incorporates three "Residence Halls", offering a short term apartment and prim allotment to new players, and a branch of the Caledon Library.

''NCI classes, events, and resources are free and open to all.''

NCI is entirely resident-run and financed and is unaffiliated with Linden Lab. Land and tier for NCI’s four campuses has been purchased by NCI or donated by NCI members and supporters. NCI continues to pay its instructors, even after Linden Lab abandoned class funding in December 2006. NCI is not-for-profit and is funded via through individual donations, sponsored advertising, and by RL and in-world businesses that we conduct NCI-branded classes and events for.

:Caledon Oxbridge is a collaboration between NCI and the Independent State of Caledon. It provides a complete Second Life tutorial for new residents. Based on the theme of a old English university, the Orientation is spread over six "Colleges", each covering a different area of the Second Life interface and world: Avatar Motion, Camera Controls, Communications, Search & Inventory, Avatar Customization, and Money & Commmerce. The tutorial experience includes not only traditional orientation posters, but also interactive exercises, free full avatars, and prizes. Caledon Oxbridge also incorporates three "Residence Halls", offering a short term apartment and prim allotment to new players, and a branch of the Caledon Library.

*Mahulu InfoHub
:NCI is the resident organization that operates the Linden Lab-owned Mahulu InfoHub. Based on an original build by Karsten Rutledge, the Mahulu InfoHub is both a spawning point for new residents and a home location for old, at the base of Mount G'al. NCI has outfitted Mahulu with help posters and signs grouped into four categories: "How do I learn the basics?", "What can I see & do here?", "Where can I find free stuff?", and "Where can I learn SL skills?" The Mahulu InfoHub is also supported by the adjacent NCI-owned Mahulu InfoNode.

===Group Charter===
NCI /New Citizens Incorporated is a portal to the Second Life® virtual world.

Designed primarily for new residents, but open to all, NCI offers in-person advice from our team of NCI Helpers and NCI Land Officers classes, contests and social events, interactive tutorials, freebies, help notecards and landmarks, sandboxes for building, a new residents mall, Ginny Gremlin park, games, and newsstands with free in-world publications.

NCI’s offers an extensive schedule of classes and events (over 60 a week), held at our campuses, and at venues of partner companies. NCI classes include basic and advanced building and texturing, clothing and accessory creation, scripting, and land ownership. We also hold other basic SL classes, such as Intro to SL, Using the Search Menu and Maps, Avatar Makeover, and SL Consumer Skills. NCI events include Show & Tells, Parties, Blitz Building contests, New Player Q&A, and our longest running event—our weekly Newbie Salsa.

NCI runs four Second Life campuses: NCI Kuula (the original and largest NCI location), NCI South (at Hamnida, directly adjacent to the South Welcome Area), NCI Beach (by the sea in the Class 5 Fishermans Cove sim), and NCI Caledon at Caledon Oxbridge Village. NCI also manages seventeen NCI InfoNodes, located near or adjacent to Linden InfoHubs (or other areas popular with new residents). InfoNodes serve as "mini-NCIs" with information, freebies, landmarks, maps, and schedules, providing information to new residents where they first rez, when they first rez.

NCI--in collaboration with the Independent State of Caledon--operates Caledon Oxbridge, an active Community Gateway (Orientation Island).

NCI is entirely resident-run and financed and is unaffiliated with Linden Lab. Land and tier for NCI’s four campuses has been purchased by NCI or donated by NCI members and supporters. NCI continues to pay its instructors, even after Linden Lab abandoned class funding in December 2006. NCI is not-for-profit and is funded via through individual donations, sponsored advertising, and by RL and in-world businesses that we conduct NCI-branded classes and events for.

InfoNodes serve as "mini-NCIs" with information, freebies, landmarks, maps, and schedules, providing information to new residents where they first rez, when they first rez.

NCI--in collaboration with the Independent State of Caledon--operates Caledon Oxbridge, an active Community Gateway (Orientation Island). Adjacent to NCI Caledon, Caledon Oxbridge provides a complete Second Life tutorial for new residents. Based on the theme of a old English university, the Orientation is spread over six "Colleges", each covering a different area of the Second Life interface and world: Avatar Motion, Camera Controls, Communications, Search & Inventory, Avatar Customization, and Money & Commmerce. The tutorial experience includes not only traditional orientation posters, but also interactive exercises, free full avatars, and prizes. Caledon Oxbridge also incorporates three "Residence Halls", offering a short term apartment and prim allotment to new players, and a branch of the Caledon Library.

''NCI classes, events, and resources are free and open to all.''

NCI is entirely resident-run and financed and is unaffiliated with Linden Lab. Land and tier for NCI’s four campuses has been purchased by NCI or donated by NCI members and supporters. NCI continues to pay its instructors, even after Linden Lab abandoned class funding in December 2006. NCI is not-for-profit and is funded via through individual donations, sponsored advertising, and by RL and in-world businesses that we conduct NCI-branded classes and events for.

===Group Charter===
NCI /New Citizens Incorporated is a portal to the Second Life® virtual world.

Designed primarily for new residents, but open to all, NCI offers in-person advice from our team of NCI Helpers and NCI Land Officers classes, contests and social events, interactive tutorials, freebies, help notecards and landmarks, sandboxes for building, a new residents mall, Ginny Gremlin park, games, and newsstands with free in-world publications.

NCI’s offers an extensive schedule of classes and events (over 60 a week), held at our campuses, and at venues of partner companies. NCI classes include basic and advanced building and texturing, clothing and accessory creation, scripting, and land ownership. We also hold other basic SL classes, such as Intro to SL, Using the Search Menu and Maps, Avatar Makeover, and SL Consumer Skills. NCI events include Show & Tells, Parties, Blitz Building contests, New Player Q&A, and our longest running event—our weekly Newbie Salsa.

NCI runs four Second Life campuses: NCI Kuula (the original and largest NCI location), NCI South (at Hamnida, directly adjacent to the South Welcome Area), NCI Beach (by the sea in the Class 5 Fishermans Cove sim), and NCI Caledon at Caledon Oxbridge Village.

===Group Charter===
NCI /New Citizens Incorporated is a portal to the Second Life® virtual world.

Designed primarily for new residents, but open to all, NCI offers in-person advice from our team of NCI Helpers and NCI Land Officers classes, contests and social events, interactive tutorials, freebies, help notecards and landmarks, sandboxes for building, a new residents mall, Ginny Gremlin park, games, and newsstands with free in-world publications.

NCI’s offers an extensive schedule of classes and events (over 60 a week), held at our campuses, and at venues of partner companies. NCI classes include basic and advanced building and texturing, clothing and accessory creation, scripting, and land ownership. We also hold other basic SL classes, such as Intro to SL, Using the Search Menu and Maps, Avatar Makeover, and SL Consumer Skills. NCI events include Show & Tells, Parties, Blitz Building contests, New Player Q&A, and our longest running event—our weekly Newbie Salsa.

NCI runs four Second Life campuses: NCI Kuula (the original and largest NCI location), NCI South (at Hamnida, directly adjacent to the South Welcome Area), NCI Beach (by the sea in the Class 5 Fishermans Cove sim), and NCI Caledon at Caledon Oxbridge Village. NCI also manages sixteen NCI InfoNodes, located near or adjacent to Linden InfoHubs (or other areas popular with new residents). InfoNodes serve as "mini-NCIs" with information, freebies, landmarks, maps, and schedules, providing information to new residents where they first rez, when they first rez.

NCI--in collaboration with the Independent State of Caledon--operates Caledon Oxbridge, an active Community Gateway (Orientation Island). Adjacent to NCI Caledon, Caledon Oxbridge provides a complete Second Life tutorial for new residents. Based on the theme of a old English university, the Orientation is spread over six "Colleges", each covering a different area of the Second Life interface and world: Avatar Motion, Camera Controls, Communications, Search & Inventory, Avatar Customization, and Money & Commmerce. The tutorial experience includes not only traditional orientation posters, but also interactive exercises, free full avatars, and prizes. Caledon Oxbridge also incorporates three "Residence Halls", offering a short term apartment and prim allotment to new players, and a branch of the Caledon Library.

''NCI classes, events, and resources are free and open to all.''

NCI is entirely resident-run and financed and is unaffiliated with Linden Lab. Land and tier for NCI’s four campuses has been purchased by NCI or donated by NCI members and supporters. NCI continues to pay its instructors, even after Linden Lab abandoned class funding in December 2006. NCI is not-for-profit and is funded via through individual donations, sponsored advertising, and by RL and in-world businesses that we conduct NCI-branded classes and events for.

===Group Charter===
NCI /New Citizens Incorporated is a portal to the Second Life® virtual world.

Designed primarily for new residents, but open to all, NCI offers in-person advice from our team of NCI Helpers and NCI Land Officers classes, contests and social events, interactive tutorials, freebies, help notecards and landmarks, sandboxes for building, a new residents mall, Ginny Gremlin park, games, and newsstands with free in-world publications.

NCI’s offers an extensive schedule of classes and events (over 60 a week), held at our campuses, and at venues of partner companies. NCI classes include basic and advanced building and texturing, clothing and accessory creation, scripting, and land ownership. We also hold other basic SL classes, such as Intro to SL, Using the Search Menu and Maps, Avatar Makeover, and SL Consumer Skills. NCI events include Show & Tells, Parties, Blitz Building contests, New Player Q&A, and our longest running event—our weekly Newbie Salsa.

NCI runs four Second Life campuses: NCI Kuula (the original and largest NCI location), NCI South (at Hamnida, directly adjacent to the South Welcome Area), NCI Beach (by the sea in the Class 5 Fishermans Cove sim), and NCI Caledon at Caledon Oxbridge Village. NCI also manages sixteen NCI InfoNodes, located near or adjacent to Linden InfoHubs (or other areas popular with new residents). InfoNodes serve as "mini-NCIs" with information, freebies, landmarks, maps, and schedules, providing information to new residents where they first rez, when they first rez.

NCI--in collaboration with the Independent State of Caledon--operates Caledon Oxbridge, an active Community Gateway (Orientation Island). Adjacent to NCI Caledon, Caledon Oxbridge provides a complete Second Life tutorial for new residents. Based on the theme of a old English university, the Orientation is spread over six "Colleges", each covering a different area of the Second Life interface and world: Avatar Motion, Camera Controls, Communications, Search & Inventory, Avatar Customization, and Money & Commmerce. The tutorial experience includes not only traditional orientation posters, but also interactive exercises, free full avatars, and prizes. Caledon Oxbridge also incorporates three "Residence Halls", offering a short term apartment and prim allotment to new players, and a branch of the Caledon Library.

''NCI classes, events, and resources are free and open to all.''

NCI is entirely resident-run and financed and is unaffiliated with Linden Lab. Land and tier for NCI’s four campuses has been purchased by NCI or donated by NCI members and supporters. NCI continues to pay its instructors, even after Linden Lab abandoned class funding in December 2006. NCI is not-for-profit and is funded via through individual donations, sponsored advertising, and by RL and in-world businesses that we conduct NCI-branded classes and events for.

===The Tao of NCI===

===Group Charter===
NCI /New Citizens Incorporated is a portal to the Second Life® virtual world.

Designed primarily for new residents, but open to all, NCI offers in-person advice from our team of NCI Helpers and NCI Land Officers classes, contests and social events, interactive tutorials, freebies, help notecards and landmarks, sandboxes for building, a new residents mall, Ginny Gremlin park, games, and newsstands with free in-world publications.

NCI’s offers an extensive schedule of classes and events (over 60 a week), held at our campuses, and at venues of partner companies. NCI classes include basic and advanced building and texturing, clothing and accessory creation, scripting, and land ownership. We also hold other basic SL classes, such as Intro to SL, Using the Search Menu and Maps, Avatar Makeover, and SL Consumer Skills. NCI events include Show & Tells, Parties, Blitz Building contests, New Player Q&A, and our longest running event—our weekly Newbie Salsa.

NCI runs four Second Life campuses: NCI Kuula (the original and largest NCI location), NCI South (at Hamnida, directly adjacent to the South Welcome Area), NCI Beach (by the sea in the Class 5 Fishermans Cove sim), and NCI Caledon at Caledon Oxbridge Village. NCI also manages sixteen NCI InfoNodes, located near or adjacent to Linden InfoHubs (or other areas popular with new residents). InfoNodes serve as "mini-NCIs" with information, freebies, landmarks, maps, and schedules, providing information to new residents where they first rez, when they first rez.

NCI--in collaboration with the Independent State of Caledon--operates Caledon Oxbridge, a private Orientation Island. Adjacent to NCI Caledon, Caledon Oxbridge provides a complete Second Life tutorial for new residents. Based on the theme of a old English university, the Orientation is spread over six "Colleges", each covering a different area of the Second Life interface and world: Avatar Motion, Camera Controls, Communications, Search & Inventory, Avatar Customization, and Money & Commmerce. The tutorial experience includes not only traditional orientation posters, but also interactive exercises, free full avatars, and prizes. Caledon Oxbridge also incorporates three "Residence Halls", offering a short term apartment and prim allotment to new players, and a branch of the Caledon Library.

''NCI classes, events, and resources are free and open to all.''

NCI is entirely resident-run and financed and is unaffiliated with Linden Lab. Land and tier for NCI’s four campuses has been purchased by NCI or donated by NCI members and supporters. NCI continues to pay its instructors, even after Linden Lab abandoned class funding in December 2006. NCI is not-for-profit and is funded via through individual donations, sponsored advertising, and by RL and in-world businesses that we conduct NCI-branded classes and events for.

===Group Charter===
NCI /New Citizens Incorporated is a portal to the Second Life® virtual world.

Designed primarily for new residents, but open to all, NCI offers in-person advice from our team of NCI Helpers and NCI Land Officers classes, contests and social events, interactive tutorials, freebies, help notecards and landmarks, sandboxes for building, a new residents mall, Ginny Gremlin park, games, and newsstands with free in-world publications.

NCI’s offers an extensive schedule of classes and events (over 60 a week), held at our campuses, and at venues of partner companies. NCI classes include basic and advanced building and texturing, clothing and accessory creation, scripting, and land ownership. We also hold other basic SL classes, such as Intro to SL, Using the Search Menu and Maps, Avatar Makeover, and SL Consumer Skills. NCI events include Show & Tells, Parties, Blitz Building contests, New Player Q&A, and our longest running event—our weekly Newbie Salsa.

NCI runs four Second Life campuses: NCI Kuula (the original and largest NCI location), NCI South (at Hamnida, directly adjacent to the South Welcome Area), NCI Beach (by the sea in the Class 5 Fishermans Cove sim), and NCI Caledon at Caledon Oxbridge Village. NCI also manages sixteen NCI InfoNodes, located near or adjacent to Linden InfoHubs (or other areas popular with new residents). InfoNodes serve as "mini-NCIs" with information, freebies, landmarks, maps, and schedules, providing information to new residents where they first rez, when they first rez.

NCI--in collaboration with the Independent State of Caledon--operates Caledon Oxbridge, a private Orientation Island. Adjacent to NCI Caledon, Caledon Oxbridge provides a complete Second Life tutorial for new residents. Based on the theme of a old English university, the Orientation is spread over six "Colleges", each covering a different area of the Second Life interface and world: Avatar Motion, Camera Controls, Communications, Search & Inventory, Avatar Customization, and Money & Commmerce. The tutorial experience includes not only traditional orientation posters, but also interactive exercises, free full avatars, and prizes. Caledon Oxbridge also incorporates three "Residence Halls", offering a short term apartment and prim allotment to new players, and a branch of the Caledon Library.

''NCI classes, events, and resources are free and open to all.''

NCI is entirely resident-run and financed and is unaffiliated with Linden Lab. Land and tier for NCI’s four campuses has been purchased by NCI or donated by NCI members and supporters. NCI continues to pay its instructors, even after Linden Lab abandoned class funding in December 2006. NCI is not-for-profit and is funded via through individual donations, sponsored advertising, and by RL and in-world businesses that we conduct NCI-branded classes and events for.

===Group Charter===
NCI /New Citizens Incorporated is a portal to the Second Life® virtual world.

Designed primarily for new residents, but open to all, NCI offers in-person advice from our team of NCI Helpers and NCI Land Officers classes, contests and social events, interactive tutorials, freebies, help notecards and landmarks, sandboxes for building, a new residents mall, Ginny Gremlin park, games, and newsstands with free in-world publications.

NCI’s offers an extensive schedule of classes and events (over 60 a week), held at our campuses, and at venues of partner companies. NCI classes include basic and advanced building and texturing, clothing and accessory creation, scripting, and land ownership. We also hold other basic SL classes, such as Intro to SL, Using the Search Menu and Maps, Avatar Makeover, and SL Consumer Skills. NCI events include Show & Tells, Parties, Blitz Building contests, New Player Q&A, and our longest running event—our weekly Newbie Salsa.

NCI runs four Second Life campuses: NCI Kuula (the original and largest NCI location), NCI South (at Hamnida, directly adjacent to the South Welcome Area), NCI Beach (by the sea in the Class 5 Fishermans Cove sim), and NCI Caledon at Caledon Oxbridge Village. NCI also manages sixteen NCI InfoNodes, located near or adjacent to Linden InfoHubs (or other areas popular with new residents). InfoNodes serve as "mini-NCIs" with information, freebies, landmarks, maps, and schedules, providing information to new residents where they first rez, when they first rez.

NCI--in collaboration with the Independent State of Caledon--operates Caledon Oxbridge, a private Orientation Island. Adjacent to NCI Caledon, Caledon Oxbridge provides a complete Second Life tutorial for new residents. Based on the theme of a old English university, the Orientation is spread over six "Colleges", each covering a different area of the Second Life interface and world: Avatar Motion, Camera Controls, Communications, Search & Inventory, Avatar Customization, and Money & Commmerce. The tutorial experience includes not only traditional orientation posters, but also interactive exercises, free full avatars, and prizes. Caledon Oxbridge also incorporates three "Residence Halls", offering a short term apartment and prim allotment to new players, and a branch of the Caledon Library.

''NCI classes, events, and resources are free and open to all.''

NCI is entirely resident-run and financed and is unaffiliated with Linden Lab. Land and tier for NCI’s four campuses has been purchased by NCI or donated by NCI members and supporters. NCI continues to pay its instructors, even after Linden Lab abandoned class funding in December 2006. NCI is not-for-profit and is funded via through individual donations, sponsored advertising, and by RL and in-world businesses that we conduct NCI-branded classes and events for.

===Group Charter===
NCI /New Citizens Incorporated is a portal to the Second Life® virtual world.

Designed primarily for new residents, but open to all, NCI offers in-person advice from our team of NCI Helpers and NCI Land Officers classes, contests and social events, interactive tutorials, freebies, help notecards and landmarks, sandboxes for building, a new residents mall, Ginny Gremlin park, games, and newsstands with free in-world publications.

NCI’s offers an extensive schedule of classes and events (over 60 a week), held at our campuses, and at venues of partner companies. NCI classes include basic and advanced building and texturing, clothing and accessory creation, scripting, and land ownership. We also hold other basic SL classes, such as Intro to SL, Using the Search Menu and Maps, Avatar Makeover, and SL Consumer Skills. NCI events include Show & Tells, Parties, Blitz Building contests, New Player Q&A, and our longest running event—our weekly Newbie Salsa.

NCI runs four Second Life campuses: NCI Kuula (the original and largest NCI location), NCI South (at Hamnida, directly adjacent to the South Welcome Area), NCI Beach (by the sea in the Class 5 Fishermans Cove sim), and NCI Caledon at Caledon Oxbridge Village. NCI also manages fifteen NCI InfoNodes, located near or adjacent to Linden InfoHubs (or other areas popular with new residents). InfoNodes serve as "mini-NCIs" with information, freebies, landmarks, maps, and schedules, providing information to new residents where they first rez, when they first rez.

NCI--in collaboration with the Independent State of Caledon--operates Caledon Oxbridge, a private Orientation Island. Adjacent to NCI Caledon, Caledon Oxbridge provides a complete Second Life tutorial for new residents. Based on the theme of a old English university, the Orientation is spread over six "Colleges", each covering a different area of the Second Life interface and world: Avatar Motion, Camera Controls, Communications, Search & Inventory, Avatar Customization, and Money & Commmerce. The tutorial experience includes not only traditional orientation posters, but also interactive exercises, free full avatars, and prizes. Caledon Oxbridge also incorporates three "Residence Halls", offering a short term apartment and prim allotment to new players, and a branch of the Caledon Library.

''NCI classes, events, and resources are free and open to all.''

NCI is entirely resident-run and financed and is unaffiliated with Linden Lab. Land and tier for NCI’s four campuses has been purchased by NCI or donated by NCI members and supporters. NCI continues to pay its instructors, even after Linden Lab abandoned class funding in December 2006. NCI is not-for-profit and is funded via through individual donations, sponsored advertising, and by RL and in-world businesses that we conduct NCI-branded classes and events for.

To minimize problems with Group Chat and Group Notices caused by large groups, NCI regularly ejects people from the New Citizens Inc. group who have not logged in for over one year.

===Group Charter===
NCI /New Citizens Incorporated is a portal to the Second Life® virtual world.

Designed primarily for new residents, but open to all, NCI offers in-person advice from our team of NCI Helpers and NCI Land Officers classes, contests and social events, interactive tutorials, freebies, help notecards and landmarks, sandboxes for building, a new residents mall, Ginny Gremlin park, games, and newsstands with free in-world publications.

NCI’s offers an extensive schedule of classes and events (over 60 a week), held at our campuses, and at venues of partner companies. NCI classes include basic and advanced building and texturing, clothing and accessory creation, scripting, and land ownership. We also hold other basic SL classes, such as Intro to SL, Using the Search Menu and Maps, Avatar Makeover, and SL Consumer Skills. NCI events include Show & Tells, Parties, Blitz Building contests, New Player Q&A, and our longest running event—our weekly Newbie Salsa.

NCI runs four Second Life campuses: NCI Kuula (the original and largest NCI location), NCI South (at Hamnida, directly adjacent to the South Welcome Area), NCI Beach (by the sea in the Class 5 Fishermans Cove sim), and NCI Caledon at Caledon Oxbridge Village. NCI also manages fifteen NCI InfoNodes, located near or adjacent to Linden InfoHubs (or other areas popular with new residents). InfoNodes serve as "mini-NCIs" with information, freebies, landmarks, maps, and schedules, providing information to new residents where they first rez, when they first rez.

NCI--in collaboration with the Independent State of Caledon--operates Caledon Oxbridge, a private Orientation Island. Adjacent to NCI Caledon, Caledon Oxbridge provides a complete Second Life tutorial for new residents. Based on the theme of a old English university, the Orientation is spread over six "Colleges", each covering a different area of the Second Life interface and world: Avatar Motion, Camera Controls, Communications, Search & Inventory, Avatar Customization, and Money & Commmerce. The tutorial experience includes not only traditional orientation posters, but also interactive exercises, free full avatars, and prizes. Caledon Oxbridge also incorporates three "Residence Halls", offering a short term apartment and prim allotment to new players, and a branch of the Caledon Library.

''NCI classes, events, and resources are free and open to all.''

NCI is entirely resident-run and financed and is unaffiliated with Linden Lab. Land and tier for NCI’s four campuses has been purchased by NCI or donated by NCI members and supporters. NCI continues to pay its instructors, even after Linden Lab abandoned class funding in December 2006. NCI is not-for-profit and is funded via through individual donations, sponsored advertising, and by RL and in-world businesses that we conduct NCI-branded classes and events for.

To minimize problems with Group Chat and Group Notices caused by large groups, NCI regularly ejects people from the New Citizens Inc. group who have not logged in for over one year.

===Group Charter===
NCI /New Citizens Incorporated is a portal to the Second Life® virtual world.

Designed primarily for new residents, but open to all, NCI offers in-person advice from our team of NCI Helpers and NCI Land Officers classes, contests and social events, interactive tutorials, freebies, help notecards and landmarks, sandboxes for building, a new residents mall, Ginny Gremlin park, games, and newsstands with free in-world publications.

NCI’s offers an extensive schedule of classes and events (over 60 a week), held at our campuses, and at venues of partner companies. NCI classes include basic and advanced building and texturing, clothing and accessory creation, scripting, and land ownership. We also hold other basic SL classes, such as Intro to SL, Using the Search Menu and Maps, Avatar Makeover, and SL Consumer Skills. NCI events include Show & Tells, Parties, Blitz Building contests, New Player Q&A, and our longest running event—our weekly Newbie Salsa.

NCI runs four Second Life campuses: NCI Kuula (the original and largest NCI location), NCI South (at Hamnida, directly adjacent to the South Welcome Area), NCI Beach (by the sea in the Class 5 Fishermans Cove sim) and our newest location, NCI Caledon at the Duchy of Nova Civis Caledon (our first entire sim). NCI also manages fifteen NCI InfoNodes, located near or adjacent to Linden InfoHubs (or other areas popular with new residents). InfoNodes serve as "mini-NCIs" with information, freebies, landmarks, maps, and schedules, providing information to new residents where they first rez, when they first rez.

NCI--in collaboration with the Independent State of Caledon--operates Caledon Oxbridge, a private Orientation Island. Adjacent to Nova Civis Caledon, Caledon Oxbridge provides a complete Second Life tutorial for new residents. Based on the theme of a old English university, the Orientation is spread over six "Colleges", each covering a different area of the Second Life interface and world: Avatar Motion, Camera Controls, Communications, Search & Inventory, Avatar Customization, and Money & Commmerce. The tutorial experience includes not only traditional orientation posters, but also interactive exercises, free full avatars, and prizes. Caledon Oxbridge also incorporates three "Residence Halls", offering a short term apartment and prim allotment to new players, and a branch of the Caledon Library.

''NCI classes, events, and resources are free and open to all.''

NCI is entirely resident-run and financed and is unaffiliated with Linden Lab. Land and tier for NCI’s four campuses has been purchased by NCI or donated by NCI members and supporters. NCI continues to pay its instructors, even after Linden Lab abandoned class funding in December 2006. NCI is not-for-profit and is funded via through individual donations, sponsored advertising, and by RL and in-world businesses that we conduct NCI-branded classes and events for.

To minimize problems with Group Chat and Group Notices caused by large groups, NCI regularly ejects people from the New Citizens Inc. group who have not logged in for over one year.

===Group Charter===
NCI /New Citizens Incorporated is a portal to the Second Life® virtual world.

Designed primarily for new residents, but open to all, NCI offers in-person advice from our team of NCI Helpers and NCI Land Officers classes, contests and social events, interactive tutorials, freebies, help notecards and landmarks, sandboxes for building, a new residents mall, Ginny Gremlin park, games, and newsstands with free in-world publications.

NCI’s offers an extensive schedule of classes and events (over 60 a week), held at our campuses, and at venues of partner companies. NCI classes include basic and advanced building and texturing, clothing and accessory creation, scripting, and land ownership. We also hold other basic SL classes, such as Intro to SL, Using the Search Menu and Maps, Avatar Makeover, and SL Consumer Skills. NCI events include Show & Tells, Parties, Blitz Building contests, New Player Q&A, and our longest running event—our weekly Newbie Salsa.

NCI runs four Second Life campuses: NCI Kuula (the original and largest NCI location), NCI South (at Hamnida, directly adjacent to the South Welcome Area), NCI Beach (by the sea in the Class 5 Fishermans Cove sim) and our newest location, NCI Caledon at the Duchy of Nova Civis Caledon (our first entire sim). NCI also manages fifteen NCI InfoNodes, located near or adjacent to Linden InfoHubs (or other areas popular with new residents). InfoNodes serve as "mini-NCIs" with information, freebies, landmarks, maps, and schedules, providing information to new residents where they first rez, when they first rez.

NCI--in collaboration with the Independent State of Caledon--operates Caledon Oxbridge, a private Orientation Island. Adjacent to Nova Civis Caledon, Caledon Oxbridge provides a complete Second Life tutorial for new residents. Based on the theme of a old English university, the Orientation is spread over six "Colleges", each covering a different area of the Second Life interface and world: Avatar Motion, Camera Controls, Communications, Search & Inventory, Avatar Customization, and Money & Commmerce. The tutorial experience includes not only traditional orientation posters, but also interactive exercises, free full avatars, and prizes. Caledon Oxbridge also incorporates three "Residence Halls", offering a short term apartment and prim allotment to new players, and a branch of the Caledon Library.

''NCI classes, events, and resources are free and open to all.''

NCI is entirely resident-run and financed and is unaffiliated with Linden Lab. Land and tier for NCI’s four campuses has been purchased by NCI or donated by NCI members and supporters. NCI continues to pay its instructors, even after Linden Lab abandoned class funding in December 2006. NCI is not-for-profit and is funded via through individual donations, sponsored advertising, and by RL and in-world businesses that we conduct NCI-branded classes and events for.

===The Tao of NCI===
*''Help people.''
*''Don't be an "A"hole.''

===Mission Focus & Statement===

===Group Charter===
NCI /New Citizens Incorporated is a portal to the Second Life® virtual world.

Designed primarily for new residents, but open to all, NCI offers in-person advice from our team of NCI Helpers and NCI Land Officers classes, contests and social events, interactive tutorials, freebies, help notecards and landmarks, sandboxes for building, a new residents mall, Ginny Gremlin park, games, and newsstands with free in-world publications.

NCI’s offers an extensive schedule of classes and events (over 60 a week), held at our campuses, and at venues of partner companies. NCI classes include basic and advanced building and texturing, clothing and accessory creation, scripting, and land ownership. We also hold other basic SL classes, such as Intro to SL, Using the Search Menu and Maps, Avatar Makeover, and SL Consumer Skills. NCI events include Show & Tells, Parties, Blitz Building contests, New Player Q&A, and our longest running event—our weekly Newbie Salsa.

NCI runs four Second Life campuses: NCI Kuula (the original and largest NCI location), NCI South (at Hamnida, directly adjacent to the South Welcome Area), NCI Beach (by the sea in the Class 5 Fishermans Cove sim) and our newest location, NCI Caledon at the Duchy of Nova Civis Caledon (our first entire sim). NCI also manages thirteen NCI InfoNodes, located near or adjacent to Linden InfoHubs (or other areas popular with new residents). InfoNodes serve as "mini-NCIs" with information, freebies, landmarks, maps, and schedules, providing information to new residents where they first rez, when they first rez.

NCI--in collaboration with the Independent State of Caledon--operates Caledon Oxbridge, a private Orientation Island. Adjacent to Nova Civis Caledon, Caledon Oxbridge provides a complete Second Life tutorial for new residents. Based on the theme of a old English university, the Orientation is spread over six "Colleges", each covering a different area of the Second Life interface and world: Avatar Motion, Camera Controls, Communications, Search & Inventory, Avatar Customization, and Money & Commmerce. The tutorial experience includes not only traditional orientation posters, but also interactive exercises, free full avatars, and prizes. Caledon Oxbridge also incorporates three "Residence Halls", offering a short term apartment and prim allotment to new players, and a branch of the Caledon Library.

''NCI classes, events, and resources are free and open to all.''

NCI is entirely resident-run and financed and is unaffiliated with Linden Lab. Land and tier for NCI’s four campuses has been purchased by NCI or donated by NCI members and supporters. NCI continues to pay its instructors, even after Linden Lab abandoned class funding in December 2006. NCI is not-for-profit and is funded via through individual donations, sponsored advertising, and by RL and in-world businesses that we conduct NCI-branded classes and events for.

===The Tao of NCI===

===Group Charter===
NCI /New Citizens Incorporated is a portal to the Second Life® virtual world.

Designed primarily for new residents, but open to all, NCI offers in-person advice from our team of NCI Helpers and NCI Land Officers classes, contests and social events, interactive tutorials, freebies, help notecards and landmarks, sandboxes for building, a new residents mall, Ginny Gremlin park, games, and newsstands with free in-world publications.

NCI’s offers an extensive schedule of classes and events (over 60 a week), held at our campuses, and at venues of partner companies. NCI classes include basic and advanced building and texturing, clothing and accessory creation, scripting, and land ownership. We also hold other basic SL classes, such as Intro to SL, Using the Search Menu and Maps, Avatar Makeover, and SL Consumer Skills. NCI events include Show & Tells, Parties, Blitz Building contests, New Player Q&A, and our longest running event—our weekly Newbie Salsa.

NCI runs four Second Life campuses: NCI Kuula (the original and largest NCI location), NCI South (at Hamnida, directly adjacent to the South Welcome Area), NCI Beach (by the sea in the Class 5 Fishermans Cove sim) and our newest location, NCI Caledon at the Duchy of Nova Civis Caledon (our first entire sim). NCI also manages thirteen NCI InfoNodes, located near or adjacent to Linden InfoHubs (or other areas popular with new residents). InfoNodes serve as "mini-NCIs" with information, freebies, landmarks, maps, and schedules, providing information to new residents where they first rez, when they first rez.

NCI--in collaboration with the Independent State of Caledon--operates Caledon Oxbridge, a private Orientation Island. Adjacent to Nova Civis Caledon, Caledon Oxbridge provides a complete Second Life tutorial for new residents. Based on the theme of a old English university, the Orientation is spread over six "Colleges", each covering a different area of the Second Life interface and world: Avatar Motion, Camera Controls, Communications, Search & Inventory, Avatar Customization, and Money & Commmerce. The tutorial experience includes not only traditional orientation posters, but also interactive exercises, free full avatars, and prizes. Caledon Oxbridge also incorporates three "Residence Halls", offering a short term apartment and prim allotment to new players, and a branch of the Caledon Library.

''NCI classes, events, and resources are free and open to all.''

NCI is entirely resident-run and financed and is unaffiliated with Linden Lab. Land and tier for NCI’s four campuses has been purchased by NCI or donated by NCI members and supporters. NCI continues to pay its instructors, even after Linden Lab abandoned class funding in December 2006. NCI is not-for-profit and is funded via through individual donations, sponsored advertising, and by RL and in-world businesses that we conduct NCI-branded classes and events for.
