Portland 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!
Led by alumnus Dr. Ryan Weber (PhD '25), alumni, parents, and friends are invited to serve at Habitat for Humanity, which strives to promote affordable housing in Portland. Waves will assist with several tasks, including unloading donations, organizing inventory, arranging furniture, and helping customers at the ReStore location in Beaverton. Rep the Pepp in your blue and orange, and jump into service! *Please note that a separate waiver and registration must be completed to confirm your attendance with the organization.
Location: Beaverton Restore • 13475 SW Millikan Way, Beaverton, OR 97005
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.
