A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, Jason Groth serves as a registered representative at Reliant Capital Group in San Diego. Outside of his role as a wealth advisor, Jason Groth contributes to several charitable organizations, including the Polinsky Children’s Center.

Located at 9400 Ruffin Court in San Diego, the Polinsky Children’s Center provides a safe place for children separated from their families for reasons of safety. The facility was constructed on land donated from the county and was further developed with private funds donated under the auspices of Promises2Kids, formerly the Child Abuse Prevention Foundation.

With a capacity for 204 children, the Polinsky Children’s Center consists of six residential cottages, an onsite school library, a nursery, an infirmary, and a gymnasium. Every month, the center admits over 300 children up to 18 years of age. The organization relies on donations to provide a diverse array of programs, including educational, cultural, and recreational activities.

Jason Groth has worked as a registered representative with Reliant Capital Group in San Diego, California, since 2013. His responsibilities at the independent wealth management firm include developing strategies to help clients achieve their financial goals. Beyond his professional activities, Jason Groth engages with a number of community groups and philanthropic organizations. In 2010 he was named Big Brother of the Year by Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County.

Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of San Diego County maintains a number of special programs for young boys and girls beyond the group’s traditional mentoring services, including Healthy Futures. One of the organization’s most recent initiatives, the Healthy Futures program brings together a number of local businesses and resources to help children deal with issues of health and wellness that may otherwise prevent them from achieving all they can in life. These resources help both bigs and littles understand and address a wide range of health issues, from childhood obesity to emotional issues like trauma, depression, and anxiety. Additional programs involve basic nutrition education and opportunities to engage in safe athletic activities.

In order to address such a broad spectrum of health and wellness topics with the Healthy Futures program, BBBS engages with a number of trusted partners. Despite being a new program, Healthy Futures affiliates already include the Eric Paredes Save A Life Foundation and the KROC Center.
