JUNE 2021

JUNE OUTREACH OPPORTUNITIES

We are so proud of each and everyone of our Hands4Hope - Youth Making A Difference graduates! In a year like no other, our youth did their best to remain engaged with their peers while distance learning and continuing to make an impact in the community. Their perseverance, determination and empathy for others will serve them well throughout their lifetime!

The Hands4Hope - Youth Making A Difference Youth Board spring fundraiser was a virtual event, Miles4Smiles. Miles4Smiles was a physical challenge where teams competed against each other to accrue the most miles over a seven day time period in May.

We are extremely appreciative of all who have kept renovations going at the Hands4Hope - Youth Making A Difference Placerville Youth Center!  The new Youth Center is coming along with mostly donated professional services, including: GC oversight, demo, framing, and cabinet installation by Richard Galli Construction, drywall and texturing by HND Construction, addition and upgrade of electrical and lighting by John Hilton, painting by Behr Paint Company, and floor prep and installation by Robyn and Chris Parker.  We look forward to having a renovated, safe place for our youth to gather later this year!
