To date, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of the Hudson Valley has granted more than 1,500 wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions, living throughout the Hudson Valley. In the last two years, we have granted over 250 wishes.
Without the help of volunteers, like you, none of this would be
possible. To carry out our mission, we depend on the help of more
than 400 volunteers throughout the eight New York counties of
Delaware, Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and
Westchester.
We are always looking for new volunteers to share their time &
talents with us and the population we serve.
Take the first step!
In order to provide our Wish Children and their families with the best
experience possible, all potential volunteers must:
- Complete a Volunteer Application
- Attend a New Volunteer Orientation
- Complete a Screening Process, including a reference check, and criminal background investigation on applicants over age 18.
(All information in the application, as well as any acquired through the background investigation, will remain confidential and be used for screening and placement purposes only.)
Click here to download the Volunteer Information Packet & Application (PDF file).
Completed applications can be faxed to 914-478-8245 or mailed to
The Wish House, 828 S. Broadway, Tarrytown, NY 10591.
A $5 processing fee is requested with the application to cover the cost
of the background investigation. Checks should be made payable to
Make-A-Wish Foundation® of the Hudson Valley. If you are unable to
provide the processing fee, please attach a note stating so. No one
will be denied application due to inability to pay the processing fee.
The application process takes 4 to 6 weeks to complete.
To request additional information, please contact Abe Almanza at 914-478-9474 x 104 or via e-mail at aalmanza@hudson.wish.org.

Volunteer orientations in your area.
