Make-A-Wish Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia is seeking volunteers to join its team of wish granters. From helping children brainstorm ideas for their wish to organizing fundraisers, volunteers are essential to carrying out the Make-A-Wish mission.

As members of “wish teams,” volunteers are the faces of Make-A-Wish in their local communities. Working together with Make-A-Wish staff, the “wish team” is assigned to a local child and meets with their family to begin the wish journey. Some volunteering may be done virtually. To become a wish volunteer, individuals must be at least 21 years of age, pass a criminal background check and attend a training session.

Make-A-Wish hosts virtual training sessions via Zoom in the spring and fall. Additional sessions will be added if needed.

Those interested in volunteering should fill out a brief interest form and will be contacted with next steps: wish.org/greaterpawv/vol
