Types of Volunteers
Volunteers help grant wishes in many ways and are matched to positions based on ability, interest, and position availability. Please consider your skills, goals, and motivation for volunteering when deciding which of these positions best suits your interests.
Wish Volunteers
Volunteers are an integral part of fulfilling wishes. As a member of a wish team, you will meet with the family, determine the wish and act as a liaison between the Foundation staff and the wish family during the wish process.
Event and Fund Raiser Volunteers
Volunteers also help at special events such as golf tournaments, haunted houses and dances. Volunteers help implement fund raising programs by introducing "Wishmakers® At Work" and "Kids For Wish Kids®" programs to people in their local communities (see "Wishmakers at Work(pdf) 
" and "Kids For Wish Kids(pdf) ").
Office Volunteers
Volunteers help in the different Make-A-Wish offices (Pittsburgh, Erie, Pottsville, Punxsutawney, Wilkes-Barre, and York, PA and Charleston, WV) with mailings, phone calls, filing and other office support.
Airport Greeters
Volunteers assist in seeing wish families off at the airport at the start of their wish trips.
