Make A Wish Foundation of Kansas

We grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions
to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.

   
Wishgranting Volunteers

Volunteers are an integral part of fulfilling wishes. The wish granting process starts by meeting a child and helping him/her determine a heartfelt wish, and then making it come true. Wish granting volunteers usually work in teams of two to plan and fulfill each wish by using resources wisely and seeking donated goods and services for each wish.

The volunteer "wish team" has the opportunity to make the wish as unique as each child. As a wish granter, you meet the family and the child, help them determine the wish and act as liaison between the family and the Foundation. The nature of each child's wish determines the level of the wish granter's involvement.

This volunteer position is best suited for volunteers over the age of 18 with creative energy, enthusiasm and the ability to give freely of their time.

We have special training sessions for our wish granting volunteers that last approximately 5 hours. We also partner our wish granters up with experienced volunteers to begin the process. Wish Granters should live in Kansas year-round due to the unpredictable length of the wish process.

Requirements: Volunteer application materials, background check, three references, staff interview, and attendance at a wish granter training session.
