Do you want to help spread hope, strength, and joy to children and families in Los Angeles?
Help grant wishes to our children with critical medical conditions in your community! We are currently looking for committed volunteers who can serve as Wish Granters in all areas of Los Angeles, especially in the Lancaster, Palmdale and Santa Clarita areas!
Wish Granters are trained volunteers who help our wish team with the wish process. Wish Granters meet with wish children to find out what their special wish is. They stay in touch with their assigned family during the wish process. Once the wish is coordinated, volunteers help surprise the child and reveal what their special wish will be. To become a Wish Granter, you will be trained on how to meet with families, interact with our wish children, and complete the necessary paperwork to proceed with the child's wish.
The first step to become a Make-A-Wish volunteer is to attend a New Volunteer Orientation. This is a one-hour information session where you will learn about Make-A-Wish and our volunteer program. After attending an orientation, you will have the opportunity to complete a Volunteer Application and attend a Wish Granter Training.
The next New Volunteer Orientation will take place on Saturday, June 2nd at 10:00 AM at the Antelope Valley YMCA in Lancaster. Please join us to learn more about how to get involved with our organization! Sign up here to attend the orientation: http://signup.com/go/wOpqKJM
If you are unable to attend this orientation, please complete the Volunteer Inquiry Form so that we can invite you to future sessions: http://la.wish.org/content/form-pages/form-page-volunteer-inquiry-form
Please e-mail Alex Rivera at arivera@la.wish.org or at (310) 788-9474 ext 107 to learn more about this opportunity!
