Become a volunteer and ride along with us

Our foundation runs entirely on volunteers. Whether you drive, care, tinker or organise, your commitment makes wishes possible.

More than fifty volunteers, one mission

Behind every wish ride is a team of dedicated people. From getting behind the wheel to carefully accompanying a guest, from tinkering with the vehicles to arranging an event. There is a place for every talent.

Please note: to drive the WishAmbulance as a driver, you must hold a valid C1 driving licence.

Meaningful work

You contribute directly to unforgettable moments for people in a vulnerable phase.

Flexible commitment

You decide for yourself how much time you make available. One ride a month or more, everything helps.

Warm team

You join a close group of committed volunteers who are there for each other.

Good guidance

We provide the right training, materials and support so you can do your work safely.
