Rest easy, Dolly. 💛📚

Today, we join millions around the world in mourning the loss of Dolly Parton — an extraordinary artist, philanthropist and lifelong champion for children and education.

Her impact can be felt right here in Idaho. Through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, 11 programs across 19 Idaho counties put free books directly into the hands and homes of Idaho kids — part of a program that now reaches 1 in 6 children under age 5 across the United States.

In 2022, the National Education Association honored Dolly with the Friend of Education Award, NEA’s highest honor, recognizing her extraordinary commitment to childhood literacy and learning.

When she accepted the award, Dolly shared a message with educators:

“Together, let’s continue to inspire kids to dream more, care more, learn more and therefore, be more.”

Dolly understood the extraordinary power of putting a book in a child’s hands. Her legacy as a champion for education will live on in Idaho and around the world through the generations of children she inspired to read, learn and dream.

This season, we invite you to join us in learning what it takes to build communities where every person is treated with dignity, kindness, and justice.

Our Human Rights Certificate Course returns for our final session of 2026. If you've been thinking about joining us, now is the perfect time. New sessions will begin again in January 2027.

This fully online experience offers more than knowledge. It offers a framework for living with intention, with practical tools to turn human rights values into everyday action. You'll engage alongside a cohort of fellow learners from across the globe, all seeking to connect, learn, and create just and joyful communities.

The course explores themes of dignity, diversity, respect, inclusion, joy, and equity, closing with a project that is entirely your own: a Human Rights Toolkit you can carry forward into classrooms, conversations, and workplaces.

Whether you're an educator, a professional, a student, a parent, or someone who wants to live with greater clarity and compassion, this course was designed for you.

Fall Session details:
• Six human rights-themed modules, released every 1 to 2 weeks
• Flexible and self-paced
• Open to learners everywhere
• Investment: $100

Registration opens August 17. We'd love to welcome you to our final Human Rights Certificate Course cohort of 2026.
