Volunteer

Join a caring community of volunteers who transform lives. Together, we can make countless wishes come true.  

Your time and unique talents are critical to bringing strength and hope to wish kids when they need it the most. In fact, our volunteers are at the heart of every wish experience. 

Make-A-Wish volunteers consider their work impactful and meaningful. And, their efforts are rewarded—not in dollars or cents, but in the incredible difference they make in the lives of our wish kids. Volunteers even have the freedom to choose when and how they would like to help transform lives in our community. 

Our Volunteer Application Cycle is currently OPEN! Click here or e-mail Kiley ([email protected]) to apply by February 29th.

We understand that you want to volunteer but might not know where your skills and talents best lie. Check out our volunteer opportunities and see where you can best help make wishes come true.

Ambassador Volunteer

Serve as an ambassador of Make-A-Wish Middle Tennessee and willing to share your experience with the organization as a wish family, corporate partner, volunteer, etc. To increase support and spread awareness of our mission. 

Airport Greeter

Meet arriving wish families at the airport to welcome them, assist with baggage, and help locate their rental car. They also help departing wish families with check in and security. These volunteers help ease any concerns the wish family has about navigating the airport and airline travel by making them feel comfortable as they begin their wish experience.
