Twelve members of the Mayor’s Youth Council were special guests at Monday’s Celtics-Jazz game at the TD Garden, thanks to IBEW Local 103 and the National Contractors Association (NECA) of Greater Boston.

“After an exciting first year partnering with the Celtics, IBEW Local 103 has seen just how much this program means to kids in our community,” said Lou Antonellis, business manager of IBEW Local 103. “It was a night they’ll never forget, filled with fun and a chance to watch the reigning NBA champions in action.”

The Youth Council is a citywide program that empowers and engages high school students 14-19 years old in civic leadership and community development. Its mission is to amplify the voices of Boston’s youth, foster civic engagement, and create meaningful opportunities for young people to influence city policies and initiatives. 

The teens made their way onto the Jumbotron and witnessed history as Sam Hauser, who had a career-best 33-point night, became the first Celtics player to make 7 three-pointers in a single quarter. 

“We’re thrilled to continue this partnership with the Boston Celtics and proud to provide this opportunity to youth across the greater Boston area,” said Kristen Gowin, executive manager of NECA Greater Boston. “We look forward to hosting more young fans and demonstrating the power of teamwork in their community.”
