These tasks include having perfect attendance at school, earning at least a B in every class, helping a student they do not know complete a goal or school project, completing every official SRLA training event, and coordinating their SRLA group’s efforts in at least three of the seasons’ SRLA Cares projects to meet or exceed a certain collection amount.
