Animal-Related Service Learning Opportunity

Would you like to spend more time with animals?
You can do that by joining the February community service activity at Animal Assisted Happiness in Sunnyvale. This is a barnyard that provides experiences for kids with special needs. They have chickens, cavies, ducks, doves, goats, sheep, pigs, alpaca, mini horses and a mini donkey. These animals need to be familiar with grooming, petting, and having kids around.

Day & Time: Saturday, February 8th, 2-5pm
Location: Baylands Park,  999 E Caribbean Drive, Sunnyvale
RSVP: Please let us know your coming, use this link
Please Note: $10 donation to cover cost of required t-shirts for every volunteer

*If youth are in 6th grade or above they can volunteer on their own with a signed release but younger kids will have to volunteer with a parent/guardian and also sign the release.

January Club Meeting: The Return of Club House Meetings
January will see the return of our OT4H Club House Meetings with the Club House Mascots being revisited as well as planning and performing a Club House Brown Bag Skit with the general theme of "4-H Adventures". Club Houses started discussing their Club House Mascot in November but did not complete their choices so they will revisit this and make their own Club House mascot selection. Then for the activity each Club House will be given a Brown Bag Skit packet to put together a short skit, themed to "4-H Adventure", to perform for the whole club. If should be a fun and entertaining evening!

Oak Town 4-H Club Snacks
Beginning with the January 2025 OT4H Club Meeting we will resume a signup genius for families to sign up to bring snacks. There are SignupGenius signups for each of the remaining meetings of the 4-H year. Please sign up to bring one shared snack sometime this winter/spring.

Parent/Leader Meetings at Club
For many of the Oak Town 4-H Club Meetings, there is a separate parent/leader meeting while the youth members are in their Club House Meetings. For January we will touch on Communication and Public Speaking. But this is also a chance for you to bring your questions and concerns for discussion and advise. Is something working well that you want to comment on? Or is there something that isn't working or you don't fully understand? Bring your questions and we will address them as best we can.

December Oak Town 4-H Community Service

1/8/2025

The Davis Street Family Resource Center community event was a great experience for those 4-Hers who attended. There were two options to choose from. The first was boxing up meals for the families to pick up. Each box had a certain list of ingredients that would be followed to ensure that the families would get what they needed. The boxes were assembled one by one where each person would choose their item from the table with abundant supplies. Then, the finished boxes would be stacked up and transported to all of the homes. The other option was to bag toys. Each volunteer would get a bag and fill it up with 3 toys, one of each size, and some other items such as games, stuffed animals, and stocking stuffers. The bags would be tagged with the gender and age group that they were assigned to. Overall, each 4Her that attended helped serve their community with these kind actions.
