Description
Inspired by Dolly Parton's commitment to putting books into the hands of young people,
Ohio 4-H is honoring her legacy by doing what Dolly believed in: empowering youth through access to learning.
From September 18 through September 25, you can help put Ohio 4-H project books into the hands of young people across the state.
Every dollar raised will help provide access to project books, ensuring more Ohio 4-H members have the tools they need to learn, grow, and succeed.
In 2025 alone, Ohio 4-H youth enrolled in 121,329 projects.
That's an incredible number, but it represents far more than project books distributed or projects completed. It represents:
- 121,329 big ideas sparked
- 121,329 new interests discovered
- 121,329 opportunities to build confidence
- 121,329 chances to develop life-changing skills
- 121,329 connections to caring mentors and peers
- 121,329 steps toward a brighter future
Just as Dolly Parton's Imagination Library inspired millions of children through the power of books, Ohio 4-H project books help young people discover passions, build confidence, and explore future careers.
When you give, you're doing more than providing a book. You're investing in a young person's curiosity, potential, and future.
Make your gift today and help ensure every Ohio 4-H member has access to the learning experiences that can change a life.
