Client testimonials

(In 2020) I had the pleasure of working with Jahin Tanvir through his role as a young leader with the Youth Health Forum and would recommend him for speaking engagements based on his performance at several events.... One of the key responsibilities of the young leader role is to present on youth issues and represent the Youth Health Forum at meetings and events. I have seen Jahin speak publicly at the Youth Futures Summit, facilitate a discussion on Effective Communication for the Youth Health Forum’s Young Advocates Webinar Series, and run a small Youth Health Forum networking event. On these occasions, he has appeared prepared, confident and relaxed.

-Former Coordinator of CHF’s Youth Health Forum

(At the Young Thinker Forum) Jahin demonstrated an enquiring mind and was an engaging and interesting raconteur. He demonstrated a genuine interest in and passion for furthering the rights of young people like himself to be able to participate in and contribute to community conversations about important societal issues. As a youth advocate, Jahin articulated his concerns about how challenging it can be to get adults to listen to and seriously consider the views of young people, while also raising the profile of concerns held by young people in the broader community. I believe his ability to represent the views of young people has the potential to both empower other young people as well as encourage adults to generate more platforms for children and young people to have their views heard.

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.

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.

-National Youth Commission Australia

We recently engaged Jahin at our mental health and multicultural young people forum (June 2021)….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. 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….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.
