Description
Volunteers are the heart of our mission!
Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. From our humble beginnings with one boy’s wish to be a police officer, we have evolved to be one of the world’s leading children’s charities, serving children in every community in the United States and its territories. With the help of generous donors and nearly 40,000 volunteers, Make-A-Wish grants a wish somewhere in the country every 34 minutes.
Wish Granters work with families over the course of 12-18 months volunteering about an hour a month per wish child.
- Wish granters are trained individuals who meet with our children to determine their wish.
- These volunteers work closely with the Make-A-Wish staff to make each wish come true.
- Wish granters will have the opportunity to meet with wish families virtually (FaceTime, Zoom Meetings, HouseParty, Phone Calls, etc.) or in person.
- Wishes can be granted in just several days or may take up to a year to complete.
- A specialized training program is provided before contact is made with a wish family.
- We serve a large percentage of Spanish speaking with families, and without Spanish speaking wish granters, we are not able to quickly meet the needs of those Spanish speaking families. If you are fluent in both English and Spanish, please consider becoming a wish granter.
