Make-A-Wish

Wish Discovery Volunteer - As a member of a wish team, Wish Discovery Volunteers meet with the family to help the wish child determine the wish and act as a liaison between Make-A-Wish staff and the wish family to help complete paperwork and understand the child’s one true wish. Initial meetings may take place at the wish child’s home, the hospital, or a public place (restaurant, park, etc). Currently, initial meetings are taking place in person or virtually. Minimum age is 21 years old. 

Wish Pal Volunteer - As a member of the wish team, the Wish Pal contacts assigned wish families monthly either by phone, cards, or email to build anticipation and excitement and keep in touch with the family. The Wish Pal can celebrate milestones such as birthdays or end of treatment by sending treats. The Wish Pal also acts as a liaison between office staff and wish family to make sure we have updated information throughout the process.  This role is remote and doesn’t require in-person meeting with families. Minimum age is 21 years old. 

Wish Celebration Volunteer - As a member of the wish team, the Wish Celebration Volunteer plans and executes an event to celebrate when the child’s wish is granted. This may be at the child’s home or at a public location such as a restaurant or Wish Granting Partner business. This may include soliciting in-kind donations to enhance the wish. Minimum age is 21 years old.
