About our volunteer opportunities:

Wish Granting Volunteers
Wish granters act as the liaison between the Make-A-Wish Foundation and our wish families - becoming that very special person responsible for making miracles happen! Wish granters are responsible for introducing the Foundation to the family, completing the necessary paperwork, coordinating the wish and creating priceless memories. Wish granters are required to complete wish-granting training. For more information about wish granters, contact Scott Crews at dscrews@centralandsouthtexas.wish.org, (512)329-9474 or (800)880-9474 toll-free.

Fundraising/Special Event Volunteers
Each year the Foundation holds various fundraisers and special events with the extraordinary support of volunteers. They participate on various planning committees to organize such fundraisers/events and/or volunteer time at particular functions. Find out about the current events and volunteer needs in your area on the Events page.
