The first step is to attend a virtual info session to learn more about our mission, volunteer opportunities, and the many ways you can help bring hope and joy to local children facing critical illnesses. Fill out the Volunteer Interest Form to RSVP for an upcoming Volunteer Interest Meeting.

Attend a one-hour virtual Volunteer Interest Meeting to become familiar with our program, philosophy, needs, policies, procedures and expectations. All Interest Meeting attendees will be provided with a Volunteer Application and written information about Make-A-Wish South Carolina.

Complete and return the Volunteer Application to the Volunteer Manager. Upon receipt, we will notify you and begin to process your application. Due to the nature of our work, all Volunteer applicants must complete a criminal background check every three years. All information in the Volunteer Application, and any acquired through the background check, remains confidential and is used only for screening and placement purposes. Make-A-Wish South Carolina does not employ or utilize any individual as a Volunteer who has been convicted of a crime that (a) victimizes children, (b) is sexual in nature, or (c) involves violence, fraud, or significant theft.

Any volunteer interested in becoming a Wish Granting Volunteer will be required to attend a separate Wish Granter Training session. You will receive more information about training dates once you submit your Volunteer Application.

You are officially now a volunteer for Make-A-Wish South Carolina. You will be an integral part of bringing hope, strength and joy to Carolina kids.
