MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis. -?On June 25, the Kohl’s Department Stores’ Kohl’s Cares Scholarship Program recognized more than 2,300 young volunteers nationwide who have made a positive impact in their communities through volunteerism.

McKenna Aleksivich, 18, of Clearfield, was one of 103 youth from Pennsyl-vania to receive a $50 gift card and recognition certificate from Kohl’s to honor their community service efforts.

“At Kohl’s we believe in giving back to our communities, and we are delighted to honor the more than 2,300 local level winners nationwide who have given their time and talent to do just that,” said Bevin Bailis, Kohl’s senior vice president, communications and public relations.

“Through their service these youth are truly making a positive impact on their communities.”
