4-H Youth Learn Financial Skills through Savings Bank Program
One of the needs listed by the Pike County Extension Council meeting is financial management and cross program programming. The Pike County 4-H and Family Consumer Science Agents worked together to conduct the Kentucky Saves Savings Bank Program. One hundred and twenty five youth designed and exhibited savings banks using either recycled or new materials.
Five semi-finalists from two schools were chosen to represent our county. The Family and Consumer Science Agent helped to narrowed it down to two. One of the two banks, which is in the form of a pig, won in this contest. This bank will be displayed in the capitol building in Frankfort. Not only did youth use their creative skills, but they learned about saving money. The goal of the program is promote savings and reduce credit card debt.
