Parents' Nite Out is a project that was originally thought of and created by Genie Le and Clayton Luu.
The basis of this project is to provide parents of special needs kids in the Yolo County area a night of rest and relaxation as well as provide their children and teens with the opportunity to interact with persons their age in a safe environment.
Parents' Nite Out is hosted once a month and allows kids to participate in crafts and activities organized by the coordinators for the kids to get to know & interact with one another.
This project was originally done as part of Fong-Quan's Pledge Class Projects. Seeing the potential and realizing what need to be done to allow this wonderful project to impact as many lives as possible, Clayton Luu attempted to take this project to the next level. After discussion with Alternative Recreation of Davis in the fall of 2006, we decided to partner with the City of Davis and settle into a permanent location.
After months of hopping from one apartment complex lounges to another, Parents' Nite Out now calls the Davis Teen Center, located on the corner of 3rd and B, home.
With tremendous help from the PNO Assistant Coordinator Senor Drew Mayen a member of Alpha Phi Omega, Iota Phi chapter, this event has grown to have around 15 participants regularly with around 25-30 kids who have participated in the event.
