Firestorm Gateway for New Residents
The Firestorm Gateway is a Community Gateway for new residents coming into Second Life where we provide a safe and welcoming learning environment. Help is freely given for users on any viewer by our Helper volunteers.
New Helper Applicants are required to go through a process that includes filling out an application (which requires some knowledge of the Gateway regions) and following through a series of steps and training. The final step would be an interview with the Gateway HR Manager at which time both sides would discuss and determine if being a volunteer helper is right for you. You will receive your HUD and follow with a 30 day probation period.
Previous Gateway Helpers that have left the team for any reason: If you have been gone longer than 6 months or more you will need to start the process over again and reapply. If you have been gone for 3 - 6 months, you will need to contact the Gateway HR Manager about coming back. If you are accepted back this will likely include a brief interview and a retake of part of your helper training. If you have been gone under 3 months and are accepted back, you can begin as a helper again after reading through any changes that have been made in your absence.
Applications for Helper at the Firestorm Gateway are in the Social Building at Firestorm Social Island. Look for the little red mail box, the box with applications is beside it. Applications can be dropped in that mail box when completed.
