Kohl’s Kids Who Care Program
Posted by on February 24, 2006
Deadline: March 15, 2006
A philanthropic program of the Kohl’s Corporation (<a href="http://www.kohlscorporation.com">http://www.kohlscorporation.com/</a>), the Kohl’s Kids Who Care program provides Kohl’s an annual opportunity to recognize and reward young volunteers who transform their communities for the better.
Any individual 21 years of age and older may nominate children And youth who are 6 to 18 years old and have not yet graduated from high school by March 15, 2006. Nominators will be asked to describe a young community volunteer’s actions in detail and document efforts that are above and beyond what is normally expected. The volunteer’s efforts should have resulted in a positive community outcome and must have occurred within the last twelve months. (Note: The volunteer activity cannot be performed to benefit a family member.)
Completed nominations will be accepted in person or by mail at any participating Kohl’s Department Store (for local store addresses, see the Store Locator at the Kohl’s Web site).
Nominees will be divided into two groups based on their ages as of March 15, 2006. The first group will consist of kids 6 to 12, the second group kids 13 to 18. Three levels of awards will be presented. Each participating store will have one winner from each age group. Each Store-Level winner will receive a $50 Kohl’s Gift Card and a Kohl’s Kids Who Care Certificate. A judging panel at Scholarship Management Services will then select both Regional and National winners. Each region will have one winner from each age group (for a total of 148 winners). Each Regional winner will be awarded a $1,000 scholarship toward his or her post-secondary education. There will be five National winners selected from children in each age group (for a total of ten). Each National winner will be awarded a $5,000 scholarship toward his or her post-secondary education. In addition, Kohl’s will contribute $1,000 to a nonprofit organization on behalf of each national winner.
