Volunteer Opportunities

Starlight's volunteers are the lifeblood of our organization. Without the commitment of those who believe in our cause, Starlight could hardly fulfill our promise to thousands of the Midwest's chronically ill children. As a volunteer, you will get to experience the unmatched feeling of fulfillment that comes with bringing joy to a sick child.

Whether it is time, money, in-kind donations or sponsorships, you can help directly impact the success of our programs. Becoming a Starlight volunteer is easy!

Simply download and complete our volunteer application and send it to us via email at volunteers@starlightmidwest.org or fax it to us at (312) 251-7825.  Once we have received your application, a background release form will need to be completed. By applying, you will be able to sign up to receive our bi-weekly volunteer email, keeping you up-to-date on available volunteer oppoprtunities.
