Assist with various projects at our chapter office, including phone calls, mailings and research.Â
Use your professional skills and knowledge on an as-needed basis to provide much-needed skills such as reading and writing in multiple languages, graphic design, photography, landscaping and more.Â
Â
Plan, organize and implement successful fundraising events by working on committees, helping on event day and/or participating in the event.Â
Work with a partner to meet with wish kids and their families to help determine their heartfelt wishes, and then work with our staff to make those wishes a reality.Â
Help facilitate wish experiences for non-English-speaking families. Translators attend wish visit and phone calls, but they are not directly involved in planning wishes.Â
