Show off your leadership skills and earn a TDS graduation cord*
As a leader on your campus, you probably already know that new drivers are at the highest risk of vehicle crashes. So, to help young adults learn more about the risks they face behind the wheel, we are challenging YOU – our TDS seniors – to take the lead in your team’s peer-to-peer outreach and become an advocate for traffic safety within your school and community.
In addition to earning a graduation cord for yourself, you will also be helping your team in their quest to be an All-Star school and earn cash rewards throughout the year.
This year, the All-Star program allows TDS teams to complete risk units and earn cash for each one completed. There are six units and by taking the lead on the activities for just one of these units, you could earn your graduation cord. Or you can pick and choose the activities you want to lead from various units throughout the year – it is completely up to you!
