Tao of Volunteers

TAO OF VOLUNTEERS

VISION AND MISSION

Our vision is to lay the best foundation for volunteerism in Second Life by offering knowledge, assistance, and encouragement to residents in need. We believe volunteering in any world has the potential to enhance our character while reaching out to those who need us. Our mission is to reach that potential through our individual triumphs as well as team cooperation.

VOLUNTEER BEHAVIOR AND ATTITUDE

Set The Standard

Each Volunteer has the opportunity to create an unforgettable first impression of Second Life for new residents while also helping more seasoned residents with quality assistance. We do it because we want to. We do it because we enjoy it. We do it with a smile. That is how we want such unforgettable moments to be remembered.

Our personal conduct and style sets the standard:

• We will maintain civility when faced with controversy.
• We will be as empathetic and helpful as we can be in difficult situations.
• We will give respect to those we help, despite knowing it may not always be returned.
• We will seek and emphasize the positive in a situation.
• We will work as a team and help each other solve problems.
• We will be reliable, committed, and trustworthy.
• We will participate and share our ideas to improve Second Life.
• We will keep a sense of humor and volunteer when we know we are in good spirits!
• We will keep this labor of love fun!

VOLUNTEER GOALS

Promote and Grow

As Second Life continues to grow as a global platform we have the ability and responsibility to increase our Volunteer team’s strength and numbers. We should actively speak about what we do and why we do it. While volunteering we should always be open to learning new solutions as well as teaching what we know. We hope to create an open, collaborative win-win situation, one resident at a time.
