Kayla Pongrac likes volunteering. The senior at Shade-Central City High School in Somerset County has helped the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light the Night Walk, Habitat for Humanity and the Humane Society of Somerset County.
Two years ago, she joined the Challenge Program, a nonprofit organization that matches high schools with business partners who contribute financial rewards to deserving students.
"The awards don't just go to jocks or popular kids," said Pongrac, 17. "Everyone has a chance. It's given me so many opportunities."
