Teen of the Month: New York’s Nowrin

Three words that describe Nowrin are passionate, inquisitive and funny. But, there is so much more to this Step Up teen! Although Step Up’s after-school program and Nowrin’s 10th grade year of high school have just started, she has already been very active. Nowrin attended The Container Store Salon as a teen ambassador, in early September, and recently attended Oprah’s The Life You Want Weekend Tour with a Step Up mentor.


Norwin’s family is originally from Bangladesh which has given her a unique perspective and interest in global and social justice issues. Everyone who meets Norwin instantly recognizes her charisma and ability to charm people through her humor and genuine interest others. These are some great qualities for a future leader!
