Step Forward Day Faculty and Staff Opportunities

On September 7, hundreds of Pepperdine students, staff, faculty, and alumni will unite to serve alongside fellow Waves for this year’s Step Forward Day. New this year, faculty and staff have the opportunity to volunteer in the days leading up to and following Step Forward Day, offering more opportunities to engage in service projects with your team and to embody the University's core value of service that we instill in our students.

Established 36 years ago by two Seaver College students, Step Forward Day continues to offer our community a meaningful way to come together in support of our Malibu neighbors and beyond. Community service has great power to connect us, enhance our surroundings, and make our shared environment a better place for everyone.
