Kids In Motion sponsors several special events throughout the year to reinforce and promote the organization's mission.
Take Pride In Yourself Day - This event is co-sponsored with the PYRFEECT organization, and stresses the importance of good hygiene (particularly related to an employment setting) and is designed to increase the self-worth and esteem of each participant.

Career Day - Being added in 2007 - This will be a "traveling" day where participants go to a number of different businesses and talk to various people about their respective careers and what they do for a living. This will encourage participants to begin thinking about their own future career choices. |
Life Skills Classes - Held several times throughout the summer, focusing on things such as money management, work ethic, and how to deal with peer pressure.

KIM Principles Photo Scavenger Hunt - Participants are divided into teams and are given a list of concepts that they are to capture on film. The list includes principles that coincide with the KIM Mission Statement. Examples include: someone working for a living, someone being responsible, someone learning or educating themselves, someone taking pride in themselves, etc. |
