Wish Granting (particularly Spanish speaking help needed)
This committee is at the heart of all we do and what we mean at Make-A-Wish. You'll assist with making the dreams of our wish children come true through creativity and imagination (both on the part of the wish child and yourself). You'll actually visit the wish child and his or her family (always with a partner). Your objective is to find out what the child's wish is; explain our paperwork; and assist with making the wish come true. Make-A-Wish volunteer experience is required as well as training is required and an annual hour-long recommitment training.
Airport Greeters
On occasion a wish will involve some travel by airplane. Frequently it's a first time experience not just for the wish child- but the whole family as well. If you are a member of this committee it'll be up to you to help smooth the way for their first in a life time adventure. You've got to see it to believe it! Anticipation, excitement, a little anxiety, and lots of energy are the hallmarks of this event. And it's even better when they return! The happy faces, the new adventures and experiences to share, and then there's all those pictures that need developing!
Office Support
Your help around our busy office would be heartily welcomed. It always seems like there's more to do then there are hours in the day to do it. Whether it's straight forward filing and phone answering, or assisting with word processing and/or mailings, there's plenty to do and we'd love to meet and work with you "first hand".
Other Special Skills
If you have other special skills not listed here, let us know! We'll be sure to find some way to make your help count.
Special Events/Fundraising
Participate in planning, organizing, and executing our fundraisers and special events. Perhaps you know someone who might like to help sponsor an event or make an "in-kind" donation of materials or services. Maybe you have a special talent or know someone who does, and would be willing to help us out. The possibilities in this area are only limited by your imagination (and a little practicality)!
Kids for Wish Kids
Kids and young adults helping other kids experience a wish of a lifetime. For details visit our Kids For Wish Kids page.
There are plenty of other ways to help!
Your ability to help us is limited by only four things - time, imagination, energy, and creativity. If you think you can help drop us an Email, call, or write. See our contact page for Email links and addresses.
We look forward to hearing from you and hope to see you volunteering at our next event or wish visit. ANY time and/or effort on your part in the office, at an event, or meeting a wish family in their home helps us to continue meeting and exceeding all our goals to serve the children in our area! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
