Global Kids, a nonprofit that worked virtually with a group of youth in Teen Second Life last summer on their chosen issue of child sex trafficking, shares its best practices for nonprofits who want to work in Second Life. These include general tips (e.g., document your virtual work through photos/video to show other programs and funders who may not be in SL), tips for bringing a youth development model into Teen SL (e.g., create as many opportunities as possible for teens to express themselves through building things and designing avatars), and tips for workshop design and facilitation in SL (e.g., use real world content when addressing real world issues).

Second life also presents dangers for kids and antecedent 'dramaturical' behaviours, possibly encouraging unbecoming to humanity. 'Sority n School Club House' Johnathon Scayper & Lolita McAllister. Have a look and see if you agree. Interested sociologist anomonous please
