New Citizen's is a place designed to help new users in SL. All services and classes here are offered for free. There is even a small collection of freebies, including avatar skins, clothing, hair, shoes, and gadgets. There are "notecards" available all over with information on everything from adjusting your appearance to getting money in SL. There are also “NCI Helpers” available if you had any questions or need some extra help.

The Shelter is another place (besides the official Help and Welcome areas) that you may want to visit.

Here you will find freebies, a dance floor with residents dancing in-sync, a second floor where many events and games are held , and most importantly, newbie-friendly residents who love nothing better than to help you get started on your Second Life.

Free Dove is a place to go if one of your first priorities is getting your appearance in order. That means getting together items to wear, preferably for free. Click on the Search button at the bottom of your screen, select the "Places" tab, enter "free dove" in the "Find:" box, and click the "Teleport" button.

Free Dove has rows of tables covered with boxes from various SL vendors. To get the contents of most boxes, Right-click on the box, click "Buy...", and click the "Buy" button when it appears. Most of the items are free.
