John Nguyá»…n
The Camas Lions Club is proud to recognize Lion John Nguyen
as our Lion of the Month, celebrating his remarkable leadership, deep compassion, friendship, and steadfast commitment to serving the community and those in need.
​
John’s recent efforts have established a new partnership with the Adult Transition Training Center (ATTC), a program in the Camas School District dedicated to preparing young adults with disabilities for meaningful adult lives.
Initiative
As the club’s liaison to ATTC, John has played a pivotal role in organizing volunteer opportunities and offering mentorship to students. His hands-on involvement has included resume-writing workshops, interview coaching, and personalized career-readiness sessions. Most recently, John collaborated with EatWell Community Garden to establish a new partnership where Camas Lions now volunteer every Monday and Wednesday, teaching ATTC students gardening skills and helping them build confidence and independence through hands-on learning. Thanks to John’s leadership, ATTC students are gaining valuable life and job skills in a nurturing environment where they feel supported, empowered, and connected to their community.
​
Beyond his work with ATTC, John has been an active force in a wide range of Camas Lions Club service projects. His contributions to Wreathes Across America, The Hand Project, Heavy Helpers, Community Paper Shredding, Spruce Up Stevenson, and Downtown Camas Cleanup have made a visible impact on the community. At the recent Volunteer Summit, John stood out as a welcoming presence—helping to engage new volunteers and even sponsoring new members into the club.
​
John truly embodies the spirit of Lionism. His dedication to mentoring and service is not only inspiring, it’s contagious. He brings people together with heart and purpose. John stepped up to form a partnership in an area that was not simple or easy. This was a challenging issue in the community that took care and skill to develop. His thoughtful approach and persistence created something lasting and impactful.
Congratulations, John! With Lions like you, we are Better Together!
