Sponsor spotlight: Allworth Financial

Hands4Hope - Youth Making A Difference is proud to recognize Allworth Financial as a Visionary Sponsor whose investment extends far beyond financial support. A valued corporate partner since 2021, Allworth Financial has championed our mission through sponsorships, including five years of support for Endless Summer Beach Party, while the company's co-founder, Scott Hanson, has been a longtime personal supporter of Hands4Hope.

Their commitment is further strengthened through the leadership of Adam Kint, Vice President of Advisors, who served on the Hands4Hope Board of Directors until his term expired last month, generously sharing his time, expertise, and personal philanthropy. Adam also partnered with youth leader Ashna for Big Day of Giving, and they made the cutest fundraising video together, and surpassed their fundraising goal.

Together, Allworth Financial and its leadership are helping empower the next generation of compassionate, confident community leaders.

What about the mission of Hands4Hope resonates with your company’s values or goals?

What is one special moment or memory that stands out to you from your interactions with Hands4Hope?

For me it was the first time I attended a board meeting as a director. It was there that I first met and heard from the youth participants. I was struck by their dedication and passion for serving their communities. Along the way I got to witness their growth as leaders as they developed the confidence in themselves that comes with working with other youth, business leaders in the community, and the beneficiaries of the charities they support. It’s been inspiring to know that the future is in good hands.

On a personal level, what does giving back to the community mean to you or your team?

Giving back allows me to step back from the narrow focus of my life and focus on others. Like planning for retirement, helping others is an investment in the future.

If you could give one piece of financial or life advice to today's middle and high school students, what would it be?

Take the time to learn about finance and making smart money decisions early. Financial literacy is crucial to helping you achieve your future goals.
