Wish Process Volunteer

The purpose of Wishes and More, a Minnesota-based children's wish granting organization, is to grant the wish of a child between birth and nineteen who has a terminal or life-threatening condition. We also provide a Scholarship Of Hope to be used for higher education; or give a memorial to the family in the event the child does not survive to have his/her wish fulfilled.

There are many steps involved in granting a wish, and the Wish Team needs support in many of these steps. We need an in-office volunteer that can think on their feet, is quick to learn new tasks, and will be enthusiastic in supporting the wish process in a variety of ways.
