Become a Make-A-Wish Volunteer

The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Oregon grants wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. We fulfill our mission with the help of more than 200 dedicated volunteers statewide and a small professional staff. In addition, a volunteer Board of Directors governs the chapter.

To reach our goal of granting a wish to every eligible child throughout Oregon and Clark County, Washington, we need your help! You can volunteer in our office, work on a fundraiser with volunteers in your region, or personally grant wishes to local children in your community. Experienced volunteers and staff members provide training and support for newcomers.

Volunteering is a great way to help share the power of a wish®.
