Local Step Forward Day with Students and Employees
Pepperdine Community Service Projects | Ventura and Los Angeles Counties
We invite all current students, staff and faculty, to join us for the 37th annual Step Forward Day on September 6, 2025, and serve our communities at large in Malibu and beyond. The event offers local, ongoing service opportunities to connect with throughout the year as well. Projects range from beautifying neighborhoods, assembling care packages, to serving the homeless. Transportation will be provided to the volunteer projects, and a light breakfast, lunch, and a complimentary t-shirt is available to participants.
“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.”

Step Forward Day is supported by Waves of Service, a Pepperdine University initiative that supports and connects members of the Pepperdine community who are committed to volunteerism and careers of service.
