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.
"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!"
“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.”
