Step Forward Day with Pepperdine Alumni

Each year, hundreds of alumni across the nation serve with their local chapters at nonprofit organizations on Step Forward Day. Established over 30 years ago by two Seaver College students, Step Forward Day now involves alumni, parents, faculty, and staff from all five of Pepperdine's schools. Alumni, parents, and friends have the opportunity to embody Pepperdine's mission in their own communities through over 20 projects, on the same day that 1,500 volunteers assemble on the Malibu campus to serve throughout the Los Angeles Area.

Projects for our alumni chapters are listed below—find a project near you to be part of Step Forward Day. To participate with students, faculty, and staff, visit the Pepperdine Volunteer Center website.
