Types of Volunteers Wishgranting Volunteers—Wish granters work in teams of two and work directly with children to ascertain and plan wishes, and work creatively to seek in-kind goods and services to implement the wish. The nature of each child's wish determines the level of the wish granter's involvement. Administrative Volunteers—Administrative volunteers play a vital role in the daily operations of the Make-A-Wish Foundation®. All administrative volunteers work during regular Make-A-Wish business hours (Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm). Responsibilities vary widely and may include: computer work, mailings, and office projects. Generally, these volunteers work a specific shift weekly. Special Event Volunteers—Our special event and fund-raising volunteers help with specific events or promotions, including Special fund raising events, such as Golf Tournaments and Galas.
