PROVO — Singular Humanitarian experience (SHe) is basically a new help-the-world organization designed for young, single Mormons.

They will be the ones volunteering and traveling to third world countries to dig ditches, train midwives and build schools. They will also be the ones reaping the rewards that come from selfless service, says one of the founders.

Scott Porter, speaking during a lunchtime forum at the Economic Self-Reliance Conference at BYU Nov. 5, said he and a group of friends were looking for "something more" to do than travel and spend their discretionary income on themselves.

They didn't know how or exactly where but they wanted a way to harness their skills and passions to help their brothers and sisters worldwide through meaningful, sustainable projects. They came up with SHe and then decided to partner with an experienced group — Choice Humanitarian in West Jordan, Utah — to accomplish their goals.
