Volunteer Application
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Make-A-Wish®. Behind every Make-A-Wish experience, there are volunteers filling a multitude of roles. Their commitment is what drives Make-A-Wish and allows us to create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
Due to the nature of our work, all volunteer positions must successfully complete a criminal background check every 3 years. Make-A-Wish does not employ or utilize as a volunteer any individual who has been convicted of a crime that (a) victimizes children, (b) is sexual in nature, or (c) involves violence, fraud, or significant theft. Please contact us with any questions related to past convictions and/or our background check screening process. Security of information is extremely important to us. All information submitted is available to and accessed by only relevant personnel. Information is never sold or shared outside of Make-A-Wish.
Our team is happy to answer any questions or address any concerns you may have.
Sheleah Fletcher, Volunteer Manager, sfletcher@cnfl.wish.org Jalissa Neal, Volunteer Coordinator, jneal@cnfl.wish.org
