Ideas for Step Forward Day Projects
Let us interact!
Projects that involve our student volunteers directly with the people that your organization serves tend to be both rewarding and successful. Sample projects could include: hosting a sports camp that works with our Pepperdine athletes; letting our students accompany your residents on an outing; playing games and facilitating and participating in activities; preparing and serving a meal; making cards and writing notes to leave for your residents or participants; letting our students talk and share life experiences with the people you serve.
Let us clean!
We can assist you by cleaning your facility. Projects could include scrubbing, sweeping, dusting, and window washing.
Let us do yard work!
We can work outside with a variety of projects, including weeding, raking, planting, watering, clearing, cleaning outdoor facilities, picking up trash, and sweeping outdoor areas.
Let us touch-up!
If your facility needs touch-up, repair, or maintenance work, we can participate in projects such as sanding, painting, decorating, assembling furniture and safe repairs.
Let us organize and plan!
Office, facility, or storage organization projects could include organizing classrooms, rearranging storage or supply areas, setting up an organized storage system, sorting files, labeling, database organization, project planning, project set-up, preparing supplies for upcoming events (e.g. stuffing back-to-school backpacks, setting up tables), and sorting food products.
Remember that you must provide all necessary supplies and equipment for our students to complete your projects. Please do your best to consider the type and quantity of supplies you will need to keep the entire group busy for 3-4 hours. You may always request fewer students in order to keep them all busy or to align with the amount of available supplies.
We want to meet your specific needs. Please feel free to develop your own Step Forward Day projects, or ask us for more project ideas!
