Bay Area Waves: Step Forward Day 2026

For over 30 years, Step Forward Day has brought together community members from all six of Pepperdine's schools to embody Pepperdine's mission through community service projects across the country. We invite you to open your heart and roll up your sleeves for a day of community service with your regional network!

Location: Ocean Beach - Staircase 19 • San Francisco, CA 94121

Waiver of Liability: Please note that a liability waiver is required in order to serve. Please complete this waiver and bring with you on the day of service. 

Age Requirements: This project is family friendly, but children must be supervised at all times. 

Support the Waves of Service Fund: You are invited to give a gift during the registration process which will go directly to the Pepperdine Waves of Service Fund and will equip our alumni and community members with the tools to be changemakers in their communities.

Please submit accommodation requests to alumni@pepperdine.edu at the time of registration. Advance notice is requested to secure accommodations.

Your Bay Area Waves regional network leaders are Chase Riekhof ('18), Caroline Rubach ('18), and Ulysse Saltiel ('25).
