Training for Wish Granters:

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!

THIS SESSION IS REQUIRED FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN TRAINED OR WHO WERE TRAINED PRIOR TO 2000.
