Wish Discovery

In-Person Volunteer Interactions

It’s essential to ensure that Make-A-Wish continues to take all possible precautions to protect the health and safety of wish families, volunteers and staff. 

The following guidance should be followed if engaging in-person interactions with your assigned wish families and wish partners. 

  • Masks are recommended for staff and volunteer for all in-person interactions.
  • Vaccinations are not required for an individual to volunteer with Make-A-Wish.
  • Make-A-Wish will not request documentation of vaccination status from volunteers, nor will we document a volunteer’s vaccination status within their volunteer file.

For more information, read the following documents:

Idea Book (Young Children)

The Idea Book is designed to help wish kids discover their wish. This tool is especially helpful for younger children. You can choose to complete with the wish child in-person to help break the ice or it can be a "leave behind" following your wish visit to help the child think of their wish ideas until your next visit.

Wish Game (All Ages)

The Wish Game is essential in getting to the heart of the child's wish. It also allows for expanded conversation around all of their wish ideas which can be great information to utilize towards wish enhancements. Watch Instructional Video

WISHES WE CANNOT GRANT AT THIS TIME

Make-A-Wish remains committed to making sure that every eligible child receives a wish. Now more than ever, we are determined to provide our wish kids with strength, hope, and joy.

We ask that, as you continue to work with your wish child virtually to identify a potential wish, ensure that you have collected at least two wish ideas that do not involve travel or large groups. 

At this time, we are unable to accept new wish requests for:

  • Campers
  • Pools
