Jahin Tanvir

We recently engaged Jahin at our mental health and multicultural young people forum (June 2021). Jahin
was one of four panellists during the event.

From the onset, Jahin’s passion and commitment as a youth advocate was evident. He’s willingness to share his lived experience to elevate the voices of young people in this very important issue is to be commended. Jahin is a great communicator and made himself available to discuss pre-event proceedings and briefings. Jahin has a flexible approach to his engagement. He was patient and accommodating during unforeseen changes to the day’s schedule.

As a panelist, Jahin brings honest and insightful reflections and recommendations on how young people should be engaged at different levels of decision making, service design and delivery. Jahin promotes a continuous improvement approach to the delivery of services for multicultural young people. We look forward to a continued working relationship with Jahin and commend his readiness to support and mentor up and coming youth advocates to be part of conversations and decisions that impact their lives. MYAN NSW is fortunate to have Jahin as a member of our Youth Ambassador community.

Jahin is excellent to work with. Jahin was an MC for a session at the National Youth Homelessness Conference (virtual) in June 2021.

In an MC role, he ensures that all speakers in his session are comfortable and feel supported to participate. He works well with event staff and is committed to preparing to contribute to an event. He is enthusiastic and passionate about youth engagement and we look forward to continuing working with him in the future.

Jahin speaks directly to the potential for greatness that lives within every audience member. His combination of
personal story, wisdom beyond his years and actionable advice makes him the ideal keynote speaker, panelist or
media spokesperson. Our audience loved him and yours will too!

It was a pleasure to have Jahin Tanvir as a guest on Spotlight on Alive 90.5 FM shortly after he won the ZEST Awards Outstanding Youth Leader 2021. Jahin has a passion for youth at local, national and international levels, without forgetting his own cultural heritage. Jahin’s breath of social work and activity is very impressive for a person of a young age. Jahin has worked well to represent youth on national radio to help share the youth perspective and help they need during the pandemic. Jahin shows that any young person has the capacity to make change and impact given focus, vision, ambition and a will to grow and learn in their own way.
