Originally named Orangevale 4-H, Valley Oak 4-H was established in 2014 to fill a need for positive youth development within our community. Our goal is to work together and create a family environment. We changed the name to Valley Oak in 2022 to better represent our membership area. We ask for parent involvement, supporting the youth and the club in a positive manner. We understand the commitment level and interests are different for each family. If you choose to be a part of Valley Oak 4-H we ask you do so with a positive attitude embracing the 4-H way!
4-H Pledge I Pledge my HEAD to clearer thinking, my HEART to greater loyalty, my HANDS to larger service and my HEALTH to better living; for my club, my community, my country and my world.
4-H Creed I believe in 4H club work for the opportunity it will give me to become a useful citizen. I believe in the training of my head for the power it will give me to think, plan and to reason. I believe in the training of my heart for the nobleness it will give me to be kind, sympathetic and true. I believe in the training of my hands for the ability it will give me to be helpful, skillful and useful. I believe in the training of my health for the strength it will give me to enjoy life, resist disease and to work efficiently. I believe in my country, my state and my community and in my responsibility for their development. In all these things I believe, and am willing to dedicate my efforts to their fulfillment.
Our emblem is a green, 4-Leaf Clover with a white H in each leaf to symbolize:
