Make-A-Wish (r) grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. A Wish Granter will meet with the child and his/her family to help determine the child’s most heartfelt wish ideas while planning special wish boosts along the wish journey. Wish Granters work in teams of two alongside Make-A-Wish staff to ensure every eligible child’s wish comes true.
These are the steps to becoming a Make-A-Wish volunteer:
1. Attend a New Volunteer Orientation and Wish Granter Training
2. Complete an application, three reference questionnaires, a phone interview, and our Conflict of Interest & Ethics Statement
You will receive these materials after the orientation. Make-A-Wish policy does require that all paperwork must be returned within 90 days.
3. Complete a background check
Background checks are required for all volunteers; possible criminal background can prohibit people from being approved as a volunteer.
4. Start volunteering!
Once all the above steps are completed and approved, you will be able to participate in wish granting. Information about volunteer opportunities will be provided by email.

Mission Statement
Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
Description
Make-A-Wish Wisconsin grants over 300 wishes per year to children ages 2 1/2 to 18 living with a critical illness. Our goal is to grant every child eligible for our program a wish.
Hundreds of volunteers are needed across the state in a variety of capacities to help bring hope, strength and joy to wish children and their families. Wish granting, helping with special events and fundraisers, and assisting with office projects are a few examples of how volunteers make a valuable difference.
Make-A-Wish Wisconsin is a not-for-profit organization that relies solely on the generosity of individuals and businesses to fulfill its mission. Gifts of cash and investments, estate gifts, and in-kind contributions are some of the ways funds are raised, and 77% of every dollar raised goes directly to granting wishes.
Make-A-Wish Wisconsin is one of 59 chapters of Make-A-Wish Foundation of America. Over 350,000 wishes have been granted across the nation since the Foundation's inception in 1980, and every day, more than 25 wishes are granted across the U.S.
