Make-A-Wish Tri-Counties grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy.

Wish Granters are the heart of the Foundation and go out in teams of two to meet with the wish child and family to learn the child’s heartfelt wish, and then work with our program staff to make each wish a reality. Make-A-Wish offers comprehensive training for a well-prepared volunteer experience and has classes coming up in both Santa Maria and Santa Barbara. Both English speaking and Bilingual volunteers are needed. For more information on becoming a Wish Granter, email mailto:wishgranter@tri-counties.wish.org or call 805 676 9474 x6.
