The Riekes Center exists for the enhancement of the individual student. Our mission is to provide each student with the best possible opportunity to define and accomplish individual goals, build character and learn transferable life skills through Creative Arts, Athletic Fitness and Nature Awareness, in an environment of non-judgment and mutual respect. We provide these opportunities regardless of the student’s ability to pay, or ability to perform. Each person’s uniqueness and potential is celebrated. The Riekes Center thrives on providing transformational outcomes for our students.
Description
The Riekes Center for Human Enhancement is a nonprofit organization that offers programs in Athletic Fitness, Creative Arts, Nature AwarenessandStudent Services. We use a multi-disciplinary approach to provide students with resources and opportunities for the joy of self-enhancement. Programs combine technology with training and offer total support to the student. This helps individuals develop valuable skills, self-reliance and self-esteem through a dedicated respect for themselves and for each other.
The Riekes Center is more than just a gym, an arts facility, or an outdoor education center. It is a home and a community, where students and staff alike actively practice one core philosophy: that all students, all goals, and all interests are equally important.
