THE 4-H MISSION4‐H Youth Development Education Program creates supportive environments for culturally diverse youth and 

adults to reach their fullest potential.  In support of this mission we will: 

 Provide formal and non‐formal community‐focused experiential learning; 

• Develop skills that benefit youth throughout life; 

• Foster leadership and volunteerism in youth and adults; 

• Build internal and external partnerships for programming and funding; 

• Strengthen families and communities; and 

• Use research‐based knowledge and the land grant university system. 

One of the most important things you can learn in life is how to save money. It's the first step to getting where 

you want to be. Anyone can do it! Jefferson County youth have taken the first step towards saving by 

participating in the Piggy Bank Design Contest. The Piggy Bank Design Contest is the youth component of the 

Kentucky Saves campaign, which advocates the importance of reducing debt and building wealth. Any 

Kentucky youth attending public, private, or home school enrolled in Kindergarten through twelfth grade was 

invited to participate. Participants created a piggy bank that showcased money saved is a future brightened. 

The county winner is pictured below ‐ Kathy Zheng, 4th Grade, St. Nicholas Academy.
