My cousin Teresa is a staff member and encouraged me to volunteer.
How long have you been volunteering with Make-A-Wish?

What has been the most rewarding aspect of volunteering with Make-A-Wish?
Getting to know the families and seeing how excited they get when they have a wish granted.
What advice would you give to new volunteers?
Enjoy the process—from the initial meeting with the child, to wish boosts, to the granting of the wish. Enjoy knowing that you are making wishes come true. How many people can say that they actually make wishes come true?

Try new things! The other volunteers are amazing at taking you under their wing and teaching you!
