SL Volunteer Island

Second Life Volunteer Island is composed of islands that host attractions made useful for events, volunteer orientation, and training. The islands are volunteer-only, making them fantastic sandbox getaways!

Volunteers are welcome to design attractions, host events, and have guests on these islands. Please review the Second Life Volunteer Island Events/Attractions Policies for information on how YOU can utilize SL Volunteer Islands for your own attractions and events.

Here Are Some Attractions Going On Right Now!

Waterslides, Tiki Huts, Stone Faces, Hot Tubs, Coves, Flora, Fish, and Beyond - all around the SL Volunteer Islands you'll find these scattered about for your enjoyment. Some are fine details, some are easter eggs, but all are for fun and relaxation!

  • Meditation center, An eastern themed place where you can meditate. Wonder around and feel the positive energy that it emits. As we all come across the ventilation of frustration by some beings its a nice retreat. Also to uphold the positive work and vibes into the mentors group i can and will give personal advice when asked. Of course we know that we have to help eachother when asked so feel free to ask for any guidance and it dousn't mather if it is sl or rl related.
As all is always a reflection of your inner state of being and we are here and now to learn true experiance then its wise to use guidance of someone that can't thell you what you already know but can point at it. Hence the nickname ToThePoint Garfield. A humble being that acts upon and with " all that is ".
