Y-Serve
Being the hands and feet of Jesus
Y-Serve (formerly Young People’s Christian Association) is the longest-running student organization at EMU! We are students eager to offer volunteer service to our community and beyond. Our goal is to serve others as the hands and feet of Jesus.
Jesus answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all
your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as
yourself. Do this and you will live."
Luke 10:27, 28b
