Sponsor Serve901 Trips This Spring

18 Groups.
4 Weeks. One Memphis.

This spring, hundreds of college students are choosing Memphis over a beach. Help us make it the biggest season yet.

Spring Break Is Coming And So Are The College Groups!

You know that feeling when spring break is getting close? The group chats start buzzing. Everybody gets a little antsy for longer days and a break from the routine.

Around Serve901, we feel that same buzz, but it's not about beaches. It's about college students from across the country getting ready to spend their spring break serving right here in Memphis. Students from LSU, Howard University, Creighton, UAB, UTK, and more.

They're not coming for the weather. They're coming for the work. And that never gets old.

What They'll Be Doing

This isn't busy work. This is real, hands-in-the-dirt, lives-being-touched kind of impact across 30+ local nonprofits.

How You Can Help

Every dollar keeps these students fed, inspired, and serving Memphis well.

"We want every student to engage with their hands, head, and heart through meaningful service, learning Memphis history, and building relationships that last."

— Jeff Riddle, Serve901 Director

The Ripple Effect Is Real

Last year, Serve901 students logged 9,252 volunteer hours. This year, we're aiming to break 10,000. At roughly $33 of economic impact per hour, that's hundreds of thousands of dollars in expanded capacity for Memphis nonprofits operating on tight budgets and big faith.

More kids served. More meals packed. More gardens planted. More Memphis.

And here's the beautiful part: some of them come back. For gap years. For internships. As long-term advocates for this city. That's the ripple effect we're building together.
