Make-A-Wish -- Wish Granting and Fundraising Volunteers - Perth South
About this opportunity
Make-A-Wish® Australia brings amazing people together to grant inspirational, life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We work with sick kids, their families and medical teams to grant unforgettable wishes – like making unicorns fly, sending kids to the moon to and even helping Australia's youngest ever cricket captain don the baggy green!
Join the Perth South #WishForce and make a lasting difference. By sharing your time and skills, you can help Australian children experiencing life-threatening illnesses.
**When you volunteer in your local branch, you'll become part of the #WishForce helping children who are fighting serious illnesses by: **
- Getting active in your local branch meetings (held monthly)
