The Riekes Center, founded in 1996, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in the Fair Oaks neighborhood of Menlo Park. We serve 7,000+ students a year from East Palo Alto, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Redwood City, as well as across the Bay Area and around the world. Our mission is to provide community members of all ages with the best possible opportunity to define and accomplish their individual goals, build character, and learn transferable life skills while participating in our Athletic Fitness, Creative Arts, Nature Awareness, and Community Service programs. We provide these opportunities regardless of a person's ability to pay or perform.

We exist to foster and promote the ideal that human life is sacred at every stage, from conception to natural death; whether unborn, mentally or physically challenged or elderly and infirm. We seek to educate people to the science that supports this view, and to the abuses of life that occur in our society, like abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia.
