Description
Wish Celebration Volunteers work in pairs, partnering to establish a meaningful connection with our wish children and families to build hope and anticipation leading up to the wish.
The average assignment requires 1-2 hours each month, over the course of 1-6 months. Time investment typically includes coordinating with and getting to know the wish child and family, coordinating with your volunteer partner, and planning/carrying out boosts, send-offs, countdowns, and celebrations.
