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.Â
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.Â
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.
As a member of a wish team, Wish Discovery Volunteers meet with the family to help the wish child determine the wish and act as a liaison between Make-A-Wish staff and the wish family to help complete paperwork and understand the child’s one true wish. Initial meetings may take place at the wish child’s home, the hospital, or a public place (restaurant, park, etc). Minimum age is 21 years old.Â
As a member of the wish team, the Wish Celebration Volunteer plans and executes an event to celebrate when the child’s wish is granted. This may be at the child’s home or at a public location such as a restaurant or Wish Granting Partner business. This may include soliciting in-kind donations to enhance the wish. Minimum age is 21 years old.Â
