  Mr. GALLEGO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize one-n-ten, which 
celebrates its 30th Anniversary this year. I am incredibly excited to 
celebrate this wonderful organization and their outstanding work 
supporting LGBTQ+ youth and young adults in my community.
  Since its founding, one-n-ten has been helping LGBTQ+ youth learn 
self-acceptance, leadership, and life skills so that they can reach 
their full potential and be the future community leaders Arizona needs. 
Thanks to one-n-ten programs, these youth have found a space to come 
together, support one another, and learn from each other. The 
organization also provides critical social services for LGBTQ+ youth in 
Arizona, including housing programs, wellness programming, and 
workforce readiness classes.
  I have long advocated for full and equal rights for LGBTQ+ people, 
and one-n-ten is an invaluable ally in this mission. I'd like to thank 
everyone at one-n-ten, including Executive Director Nate Rhoton, for 
their tireless work supporting Arizona's LGBTQ+ youth and young adults, 
and I can't wait to see what they accomplish in the decades to come.
  Again, congratulations to one-n-ten on a remarkable 30 years and I 
look forward to seeing how they continue to positively change our 
community.
