Kids For Wish Kids is a unique program managed by kids, for kids.

Inspiring kids, just like you, can have an impact in right in our community. The Kids For Wish Kids program engages local students, schools and youth organizations in philanthropy and service activities in partnership with Make-A-Wish Hawaii. The program encourages community service, leadership, volunteerism and teamwork. It builds team spirit and gives students hands-on experience fundraising to help create life-changing wishes for keiki fighting critical illnesses.

Kids For Wish Kids puts kids in charge. They take the lead to brainstorm fundraising ideas, create action plans and manage everything from start to finish. Students can even combine their efforts for existing school events, such as spirit week or field day.  

Make-A-Wish® Hawaii now offers a Youth Leadership Council, a leadership and development opportunity available to youth on Oahu.  Members selected for the Youth Leadership Council will learn about philanthropy by volunteering with Make-A-Wish Hawaii. Our goal with the Youth Leadership Council is to encourage youth to give back to children with critical illnesses right in our community while making new friends and having fun. Click here to download our application and  Learn More
