For individuals who have ever felt a desire to help kids triumph over life-threatening medical conditions, volunteering for the Make-A-Wish Foundation is an opportunity to make a difference.
Hundreds of dedicated volunteers throughout Minnesota make magic happen for children by volunteering in areas such as wish granting, events, speaking, administrative support and internships.
These individuals offer their time and skills to help further the Foundation's mission by working in partnership with staff and other volunteers. In return, volunteers experience the joy of making a difference in the lives of children.
Benefits
The benefits of becoming a volunteer are often described by our volunteers in many ways:
- Making a difference in the life of a child and their family
- Seeing the smile on a child’s face after receiving a wish
- Setting an example for your own children
- Meeting new people
- Learning new skills
- Receiving recognition and appreciation
- Creating lasting memories and friendships
- Knowing that the service you provide makes the world a better place
I enjoy volunteering for Make-A-Wish because I love kids and I really enjoy brightening up the lives of families that are going through very hard times.
