Opportunities From: Helpline Center Volunteer Connections

Help grant life-changing wishes - be the friendly smile and helping hand in a wish involving travel! Airport greeters meet and welcome wish families at the airport, help departing wish families with check in and security or assist arriving wish families with baggage and locate their pre-arranged limousine or rental car; greeters also welcome families home from their trip by supporting them with their baggage and locating their ground transportation. These volunteers help to ease any concerns the wish family has about navigating the airport and airline travel. The ultimate goal is to ensure the wish family is comfortable and stress-free as they begin or end their wish experience.

Create special touches that help turn a wish into a life-changing experience - be a wish booster! We are looking for volunteers to support travel needs for wish kids who fly out of Rapid City by (1) decorating their hotel room and/or (2) creating airport greet signs for their departures and returns.

Wish granters meet with wish kids and their families and help children determine a wish. They also work alongside Make-A-Wish staff and wish families during the wish process.

Ready to get started? Contact Volunteer Engagement Manager, Cristina Anderson at canderson@sdmt.wish.org or call 605.791.4500 to move forward in becoming a volunteer.
