Hands4Hope-Youth Making A Difference will operate again this year’s Kids Zone, a fun and interactive area for children 2-17 at the El Dorado Hills Town Center during their Fireworks & Freedom Concert on Saturday, July 2, 2022.

Kids Zone is a popular youth-led Hands4Hope committee.

Youth plan and manage the event and activities. They work in direct contact with the community in planning marketing, activities, licensing, communications with the EDH Town Center and other vendors, collaborating with sponsors, and organizing other Hands4Hope volunteers.

It is also one of the largest youth-led fundraisers of the year!

All proceeds benefit Hands4Hope Programs.

Visit our Kids Zone event page for more information.

Oak Ridge High School Junior, Aiden Chemmannure, has only been involved with Hands4Hope since December 2021,

but he has already made a big impact.

Most recently, Aiden partnered with our Board Director, Andrea Howard, to help raise funds during Big Day of Giving. Aiden is also involved in the

ASPIRE Outfitters and Emergency Food Pantry committees and

is a leader on the Ryan Christopher Hersh Scholarship Committee.

Click to read why Aiden says "Hands4Hope has not only

grown me into a better leader, but it has also grown me

into a better person as a whole."

Despite a busy schedule which includes running a successful accounting business for the last 40 years and being involved in other local El Dorado County organizations, Dolly Wager carves out time to be involved with Hands4Hope-Youth Making A Difference.

She "fell in love" with Hands4Hope-Youth Making A Difference

after having the opportunity to observe our youth and adult mentors

at leadership camp last summer.

Dolly now serves on our Board of Directors and Placerville Steering Committee! 

Read why Dolly said "We adults could learn a lot by watching these youth in action!" in this month's Board Spotlight!
