Volunteer Opportunities

There are several ways to become involved as a volunteer: become a wish granter, help with fundraising, be a wish consultant or translator.

Wish Granters - Work in teams to help facilitate the wish process from beginning to completion. Work directly with wish children to ascertain a wish, coordinate with staff to plan the wish, seek in-kind goods and services for the wish or enchancements, and throw the fun party to celebrate the hope, strength and joy of wish!

Fundraising - Chair and/or participate on an event planning committee, help out at special events, or represent the Foundation at community events. 

Wish Consultants - Work behind-the-scenes to keep operations running at the Oregon chapter office. Administrative volunteers are asked to commit to a regular weekly shift. Duties may include mailings, computer work and other office projects, depending on skill set.

Language Interpreters/Translators – For wish children and their families who speak languages other than English, we need the help of bilingual volunteers. These volunteers work with families in their native language to understand the process of a wish, as well as assist the office in translating documents for the family.  Our most common need is for Spanish-speaking volunteers.
