Today we mourn the loss of an American icon, a beloved philanthropist and a proud 4-H alumna, Dolly Parton. Her extraordinary life was defined not only by her incredible talent, but by her unwavering generosity, compassion and commitment to helping others.

For generations of young people, Dolly embodied what it means to use your gifts in service of others. From her roots in 4-H to her lifelong investment in literacy, education and community, she showed us that true leadership is grounded in humility, kindness, and purpose. As Dolly once said, "storms make trees take deeper roots." 💚

A proud 4-H alumna, she reminded us that challenges can strengthen us and help us grow. That wisdom will continue to inspire young people and communities for generations to come. We extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and the millions whose lives she touched. Her legacy of hope, generosity, and service will live on. 🍀

4-H is growing a generation for work, life and leadership. Be part of shaping the future with 4-H 🍀

Compared to their peers, youth involved in 4-H are:
🍀 4x more likely to feel competent
🍀 2x more likely to have the goal of being a leader
🍀 3x more likely to participate in community service
🍀 2x more likely to report living life with purpose
AND these impacts last long after youth graduate.
