Make-A-Wish volunteers are a team of inspired people transforming the lives of children with critical illnesses. In the process, their lives are transformed as well. Their time and unique talents bring hope and strength to wish kids when they need it the most, helping them believe in a better tomorrow.

Volunteers are at the heart of every wish experience. They consider their work impactful and are rewarded by seeing the incredible difference they make in the lives of wish kids.

And volunteering can make a difference in your life, as well. Professional skills such as time management, leadership, communication, compassion and problem solving are developed when you volunteer.

Volunteers help us expand our network of allies in the communities we serve, which is the only way we will achieve our vision of reaching every eligible child. There are many ways you can make connections between Make-A-Wish and your community to find people we can help and people who can help us.

Together, we can make countless wishes come true!

How to Get Started 

Thank you for your interest in becoming a volunteer for Make-A-Wish Michigan.

At this time, we have paused all wish-granting volunteer onboarding. We are in the process of conducting an assessment to better understand our current level of volunteer engagement, skillsets, languages spoken and geography to optimize the experience of the children and families our chapter serves.
