Individuals and families of people with a disability can feel isolated from their communities, feeling neglected and forgotten. Seeking assistance within the community, people with disabilities often encounter a confusing myriad of programs and services. People in Motion helps to chart a path by providing these specific services to its members and works to partner with other organizations in the community.

People in Motion is a local Kelowna based society and as such 100% of funds raised by People in Motion stay in this community to serve local citizens and guests with our programs and services.
