This is a wonderful opportunity to create hope, strength, and joy for a child with a critical illness! Wish Granters will be able to build a relationship with a child in their community and connect with the child’s family. Wish Granters assist the child throughout the whole process from determining their unique and heartfelt wish, to helping make it all come true! Wish Granters work in teams of two or three to assure the wish is fulfilled.No experience needed! We will provide training.

As a Wish Granter you will:

• Work with an assigned partner or a partner of choice like a friend or family member to help grant wishes.
• Complete wish paperwork and obtain necessary documentation.
• Create magic into each wish by coordinating and delivering "wish enhancements"-special, creative touches throughout the wish process that keep the child excited about their wish.
• Solicit in-kind donations (goods or services) and help Make-a-Wish use resources wisely.
• Communicate between the family and Foundation - help keep the family updated on the status of the wish, answer any questions, and develop a positive rapport with the child and family.
• Plan events like a "send-off" or "presentation" party for the wish child.

How You can Help:

• Take part in at least one volunteer activity per year.
• Each wish on average, requires a time commitment of 10-15 hours over a span of about 9-12 months,however each wish can vary greatly in the time it takes to fulfill the wish and time required as a Wish Granter.
• Serve as a Wish Granter for at least one year.
