This is an all-day session for folks interested in joining our wish granting
team. Wish granters go into the child's home in teams of two and help
Make-A-Wish find out what the child's greatest wish might be. They then
go about the enviable task of playing fairy godmother or godfather by making
the time before the wish is granted a time of fun, delighting the child with
any variety of surprises from pizza parties to giant stuffed teddy bears.
Wish granters are also expected to help Make-A-Wish seek donated goods and
services whenever possible.
At Wish Granting 101 you will learn what being a wish volunteer is all about
and the responsibilities of this volunteer position. We will review and discuss
the current policies and procedures for fulfilling a wish. You will also
participate in interactive exercises with the goal of gaining insight into
the wish granting process. You will also have the opportunity to meet with
other wish volunteers who will be able to share their personal stories and
experiences. We will even feed you lunch!
