Since 2024, the Pavement Group and the Pittsburgh Penguins have partnered to create the Locker Room Leadership program! This program invited students in 9-12th grade to learn leadership skills from great leaders.

Registration for the program is open beginning on January 16, 2025. Registered students will be notified via email when weekly workshops dropped each week.

       

2025 Rules.

Locker Room Leadership is a five-week program with weekly videos and assignments for students to follow along. Videos contained insight into different aspects of leadership, as well as first-hand stories and advice from local business leaders such as Amy Smiley from 84 Lumber, Ellen Rossi from the EQT Foundation, and Chris McComish from S&T Bank.

Weekly assignments will be submitted online and the top-ranking assignments each week earn students tickets, autographed merchandise, Locker Room Leadership merch, and more! The top-performing student each week will receive a custom jersey!

The top 25 students at the end of the program will be invited to a pregame reception to network and hear from local leaders, as well as watch the Penguins take on the St. Louis Blues on March 13, 2025. The top student will be announced at this reception and receive a custom prize, including a VIP Penguins experience!
