Help to make a child's wish come true!

Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

As a Wish Granter, you will meet with the wish child to help them explore wish ideas, plan special enhancements, and play a vital role in granting each wish. Wish granters work in teams of two with Make-A-Wish staff to ensure every eligible child’s wish comes true. Meetings with the wish family take place at their home or virtually on weekday evenings or weekends based upon their preference and availability.

Potential volunteers must complete an orientation, application, and online background check. Additional training is required to grant wishes.

Desired Qualifications:

• Bilingual in English and Spanish (not required)
• Comfortable interacting with children ages 2 ½ to 18
• Excellent people skills with the ability to work with people from diverse backgrounds, including children with critical illnesses, other volunteers and Make-A-Wish staff
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Flexible schedule and willingness to drive up to one hour to visit with wish child

We are more than a great place to volunteer - our work is life changing. We are an inclusive and diverse group of people who, through a mosaic of backgrounds, thoughts and experiences are united in purposeful work. We are fueled and guided by our values - values that are represented in the inspired people we work with and the transformational work we do every day.
