National Step Forward Day with Alumni
Pepperdine Community Service Projects | Nationwide
Each year, hundreds of alumni across the nation serve with their local regions at nonprofit organizations on Step Forward Day. Established in 1988 by two Seaver College students, Step Forward Day now involves alumni, parents, faculty, and staff from all five of Pepperdine's schools.
Every September, we invite you to roll up your sleeves for a day of community service
with your regional network of Waves!
