Make-A-Wish seeking volunteers
Make-A-Wish is looking for local residents interested in volunteering their time to assist with fulfilling wishes.
The organization is hosting virtual information sessions on March 25 at 10 a.m. and April 12 at 4:30 p.m. Interested parties should sign up via the volunteer inquiry form at wish.org/greaterpawv/vol. The local Make-A-Wish office will then reach out with the next steps. To become a wish volunteer, individuals must be at least 21, pass a criminal background check and attend a training session.
As members of “wish teams,” volunteers are the faces of Make-A-Wish in their local communities. Working together, the “wish team” is assigned to a child in their area, meets with the family and aids in determining the most suitable wish for the child. Some volunteering may be done virtually.
For more information, contact Volunteer Manager Amanda Filsinger at afilsinger@greaterpawv.wish.org or 412-471-9474.
