Service Opportunities

Thank you for making Step Forward Day 2011 a success! 

One Step Forward

Start the year out right, serve with friends new and old, and take a "step forward" that will lead you to serve for the rest of the year. Step Forward Day is a simple yet significant way for the Pepperdine community to be a neighbor and to participate in our mission and calling.

Get Involved

All students, staff, faculty, and alumni are invited and encouraged to participate in Step Forward Day.  

We have participants from all five schools at Pepperdine and look forward to including all of Pepperdine's campuses.  

Step Forward Day registration is closed.  Please contact the Volunteer Center for more information.

Create or Lead a Group
If you are willing to lead a group, we’d like to hear from you. Leaders attend a brief training and take on extra responsibilities to help make Step Forward Day successful. 

All participants are sent out to work sites in groups that they select during registration.

If you would like to create a group to serve together, please call us. All groups must have a minimum of eight people, including one leader.

Know of an organization that Pepperdine should partner with?

Please have a staff member from the organization contact the PVC directly. They can learn more by visiting the Community Partners section of this Step Forward Day site. Please do not plan a Step Forward Day project with a partner without the PVC.
