About the volunteering opportunity

Make-A-Wish is a global non-profit organization dedicated to granting the heartfelt wishes of children with critical illnesses - whether it's a special adventure, a meeting with their favorite star or a once-in-a-lifetime experience that sparks their imagination.

Your Tasks

We are looking for support nationwide, especially for

  • the organization of wish granting
From exploration to planning:
In an initial meeting, you find out the child's wish together. During the planning stage, you and your team consider how you can make the individual wish journey come true.
Then you start the anticipation phase before the day of wish granting.

From the anticipation to the effect:
You create anticipation through various activities and small surprises. On the wish day, you take care of everything so that the whole family can enjoy the special moments and remember them for a long time to come, giving them hope.

In addition to the wish granting, we also need support with

  • contacting medical facilities
  • planning charity campaigns and events
  • the implementation of corporate volunteering
  • finding sponsors and fundraising 
Get in touch and we'll find out together where you can help.
