Kids For Wish Kids

Your Passion Can Transform Lives  

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 students, schools and youth organizations in philanthropy and service activities in partnership with Make-A-Wish. 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 kids 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. These kids help grant wishes by creating their own projects and fundraisers, which not only benefit wish children, but also: 

  • Teach kids to work together to develop a project from start to finish. 
  • Build self esteem and school spirit. 
  • Teach the value of community service - a perfect service learning opportunity. 
  • Develop creativity and idea-making skills. 
  • Allow kids the chance to experience the joy of helping another child. 
  • Lets kids have fun. 

Wish Week 
Wish Week is just one of the many ways that you can fund raise for Make-A-Wish. Wish Week is part of the Kids For Wish Kids® program, which enables kids K-12 to help grant the wishes of kids with life-threatening medical conditions. Kids are responsible for the program; from brainstorming fundraising ideas, to developing a plan of action and then seeing their ideas come to life. Teachers and parents often serve as advisors, but ownership of the project belongs solely to the kids involved. 

Who can participate in Kids For Wish Kids? 
School groups, scout groups, church groups, sororities, fraternities and more! If you’ve got a group of kids, teens or young adults who want to help other kids, you can participate.
