Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 215 (Friday, December 19, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 215 (Friday, December 19, 2025)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E1236] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING NHAN LE ______ HON. JUAN VARGAS of california in the house of representatives Friday, December 19, 2025 Mr. VARGAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Nhan Le as our Constituent of the Month for his work at Outdoor Outreach. Outdoor Outreach is a local nonprofit that connects young people to the transformative power of the outdoors. The organization provides opportunities for students to access parks and beaches, teaches them to bike, surf, rock climb, kayak, hike and more, and connects them with peers and mentors who believe in their potential. Nhan first encountered Outdoor Outreach as a student at Hoover High. As an Outdoor Outreach participant, he learned how to mountain bike, completed a five-day backpacking trip in the Eastern Sierras, and gained valuable life skills. Nhan was inspired by his experience with Outdoor Outreach and decided to apply for their Leadership Program. He completed 300 hours of instruction and is now a Youth Programs Assistant. In this role, Nhan has the opportunity to show students the power of the outdoors and provide the same outstanding mentorship he once received. Nhan works hard every day to give back. As an immigrant from Vietnam who overcame hardship, he is now a role model for so many students and a strong advocate for improved access to outdoor spaces. Nhan's efforts have made our communities a better place, increasing chances for people to explore, grow, and find themselves, and I am honored to recognize him. ____________________
