Portfolio Service Project

Catalog description

The purpose of this experience is to actively pursue the mission of BYU-Idaho; "develop disciples of Jesus Christ" (University Mission Statement), and service plays an important role in this process. Students will seek to put into practice the skills and knowledge gained through their initial course of study (e.g. 100 and 200 level courses). Students are asked to find and engage in volunteer service that focuses on benefiting others. Please be aware that service work is considered outward facing. As the sponsoring organization for this course, the service provided should not benefit BYU-Idaho as this detracts from the service orientation. Also the service should not benefit BYU-Idaho when a comparable paid job exists (e.g. TA, web designer, programmer, tech support, student support, market researcher, SOC analyst, tutor, etc.) as it could potentially create a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
