Volunteer Opportunities | |||
Fulfilling wishes for children of Alaska, Montana, Northern Idaho and Washington is possible because of the efforts of our dedicated volunteers. Whether providing administrative support, wishgranting or helping out at a special event, our volunteers do whatever it takes to make wishes come true! Although it requires a big commitment, Make-A-Wish volunteers say there’s nothing more rewarding than helping make a child’s most cherished dream become reality. For information about volunteer opportunities, please contact: |
|||
Crista Taylor, Administrative Coordinator at or 206-623-5350. |
|||
To follow are the three types of volunteer opportunities available. You may chose to volunteer in one or more areas, based upon your time available and interests. |
|||
Wishgranting Volunteers: |
|||
Wishgranters work in teams of two and work directly with children to ascertain and plan wishes, and work creatively to seek in-kind goods and services to implement the wish. The nature of each child's wish determines the level of the wishgranter's involvement. Wishgranters must be at least 21 years old. |
|||
Administrative Volunteers: |
|||
Administrative volunteers play a vital role in the daily operations of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. All administrative volunteers work during regular MAW business hours (Monday- Friday, 9am - 5pm). Responsibilities vary widely and may include: computer work, mailings, and office projects. Generally, these volunteers work a specific shift weekly. |
|||
Special Event Volunteers: |
|||
Our special event and fund raising volunteers help with specific events or promotions, including Radiothons, 5K Runs, Golf Tournaments, and Holiday Gift Wrapping. |
