Wish Granter Training
What is Wish Granting?
Bringing hope, strength, and joy to children with critical illnesses.
Once a child’s condition qualifies to receive a wish through Make-A-Wish, that child is paired with two wish-granting volunteers. Wish Granters get to know the wish child and their family, ask the child what their wish is, work with our staff to do some behind-the-scenes planning, and ultimately, fulfill the child’s one true wish! The time commitment is about two hours per month, per wish that a volunteer picks up.
