One of the biggest wins for us is seeing students come back to Memphis in new ways.

Samuel Lambert has joined us for Spring Break with Mizzou the last two years, and this summer he traded being a volunteer for being on staff with Service Over Self.

Over the past several weeks, he's been leading volunteer teams as they partnered with a homeowner in Orange Mound to help reroof a home.

We love introducing students to Memphis during one week in March, but it's even better when those experiences inspire them to invest more time serving alongside the people and organizations making a difference here.

Way to go, Samuel. Thanks for spending part of your summer in Memphis. 👏

👏 Abby Cornell (Mizzou / 812 Ministries) is spending her summer in Memphis with @sosmemphis — saying yes once again to a city she’s grown to love through two Serve901 spring breaks.

At Serve901, we hope every trip sparks something lasting — where spring break isn’t the end, but the beginning of deeper connection. Short-term opportunities like summer internships create space to keep showing up, keep investing, and keep learning alongside Memphis neighbors.

🚨 Bunkhouse Update Alert! 🚨 We’ve added some fresh new colors to the pennant wall—but we noticed a few schools still missing. 👀 If you don’t see your school’s flag flying, it might be because you haven’t sent it to us yet! 🎓

We’d love to fill the wall with more school spirit—especially from those ORANGE 🍊, GREEN 💚 and BLUE 💙 campuses out there!

Don’t leave your alma mater out of the 901 family photo. 📬 Drop us a pennant and rep your crew!

Tomorrow will be our last day of business. 15 years ago, the Mizzou BSU opened Vida Coffee Co because we love our campus and wanted to use our space to be an asset to students and faculty. Thank you to our many baristas and each of our customers that have made the last 15 years so special. Looking ahead, the Mizzou BSU and 812 Ministries are excited to discover new ways to utilize our space and remain a resource for our campus.

Our hours will be the same today and tomorrow (7am-5pm), so feel free to come in and say goodbye :)

💍😂 When Emily from Mizzou’s 812 Ministries and her boyfriend pulled off a fake proposal on Beale Street, they had the whole crowd cheering! But here's the best part: their real story started right here in Memphis. 🖤⁠
⁠
Back in March 2024, these two first connected during their Serve901 trip — sharing soul food (and maybe a few sparks ✨) at The Four Way. From service projects to soul food to soulmates? Only in Memphis. 🎶🍴💛⁠
⁠
Come for the service. Stay for the memories that change everything.⁠

🏀🎉 March Madness Meets Memphis!

We’ve had the privilege of hosting some incredible Serve901 groups this year—AND some of them are repping schools in the 2025 NCAA Tournament!

From service projects to soaking up Memphis culture, these student volunteers didn’t just show up—they showed OUT. Whether it was tackling food insecurity, supporting youth programs, or learning about social justice, they brought the same heart and hustle that got their teams to the Big Dance.

Shoutout to all our Serve901 schools in the tourney—your impact in Memphis goes beyond the court! 🏆💙

Post an emoji to indicate who you think wins it all!

After 4 years of working for the Mizzou BSU and 812 Ministries, I am moving on after this semester. I came into this building looking for the “Black Student Union” but God had something different in mind for me. This ministry has been such a blessing to me — I’ve grown so much, made lifelong friends, met my amazing wife, and have stories and memories I’ll recall for the rest of my life. I’m beyond thankful for all of it and am so grateful that God has used me as His minister on this campus. God certainly used this place to minister to me.

I am stepping out in faith and am now officially on the lookout for new opportunities! I’m excited (and a little nervous) to see where this next chapter leads. If you know of any roles you think I’d be a great fit for, I’d love to hear about them. I’d love to continue work in ministry, but am more than willing to pivot into marketing or people-oriented work.

Thank you all for your love and support always — I can’t wait to see what’s next! 🙏🏼❤️
