Interested people may sign up via a volunteer inquiry form, and information is available at wish.org/greaterpawv/vol.

Volunteers must be at least 21, pass a criminal background check and attend a training session.

Wish team members are assigned to a child in their area, meet with the family and aid in determining the most suitable wish for the child.

Some volunteering may be done virtually.
