Student Wishmaker®
Student Wishmakers are special Make-A-Wish volunteers who are students, ranging from elementary to college age. These super students raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation in their communities through a variety of projects. Whether it's a dance, coin drive or a car wash, the project is entirely student driven from start to finish with guidance and support along the way from parents, teachers, and of course, Make-A-Wish® staff. Student Wishmaker projects can be individual projects (e.g., senior graduation or service learning requirement projects), or as a larger student activity with groups such as DECA, a class, or youth group. Make-A-Wish staff can work with you to brainstorm fundraising ideas and provide you with the necessary support to make your event a super success!
Through participation in this program, students learn about philanthropy, and develop solid leadership skills. When Student Wishmakers put their time, energy and hearts into projects, they make magic happen. Student participation in this program helps the Foundation to continue its mission of granting wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.
