Local Step Forward Day with Students and Employees
Pepperdine Community Service Projects | Ventura and Los Angeles Counties
We invited all current students, staff and faculty, to join us for the 36th annual Step Forward Day and serve our communities at large in Malibu and beyond. The event offered local, ongoing service opportunities to connect with throughout the year as well. Projects ranged from beautifying neighborhoods, assembling care packages, to serving the homeless. Transportation, a light breakfast, and lunch were provided to some participants depending on the service project.
“I chose to volunteer for Step Forward Day because it offered a chance to build connections and deepen relationships at Pepperdine. Time moves quickly, and I don’t want to miss the chance to connect with the community I’ve chosen and that has welcomed me.”
—Yelyzaveta “Liza” Shevetovska, Pepperdine student and Ukranian refugee
