Translation Service Opportunity


Brynn Embley has recently informed us of the following service opportunity:

As of September 2009, students from the Marriott School of Management are teaming up with Virgance, a social entrepreneurial company, to encourage businesses to become more environmentally friendly. An event will be hosted in which one business (likely a restaurant) will be ‘mobbed’ by local students, families, and other individuals to generate a higher than expected revenue, a percentage of which will then be used to purchase eco-friendly products and equipment. This new method of consumer activism is known as a “Carrotmob.”
The Carrotmob has enjoyed success in the United States as well as around the globe. To facilitate this effort, Virgance has requested a translation team composed of BYU students to translate some small informational documents.
