We’re proud to partner with Sea Turtle, Inc. through Kia’s Accelerate the Good initiative to help protect endangered sea turtles and support long-term conservation efforts! 🐢
For the last two years, Sea Turtle Inc. and Kia USA’s Accelerate the Good have worked side by side to protect endangered sea turtles. Recently we welcomed our partners from Kia onsite for one day of hands-on volunteering—seeing and supporting the work their partnership makes possible. From building a world-class medical clinic to honoring volunteers who give their all, this collaboration is saving lives—one turtle at a time. More than a visit. More than a partnership. It’s a purpose. Kia America

From classroom to competition, Baja SAE continues to inspire the next generation of automotive engineers. In April, Kia joined student engineers in Arizona at Baja SAE, a four-day collegiate competition hosted by SAE International. Our teams from HR, Learning & Culture, and Engineering had the chance to share Kia’s culture and values, connect with future talent, and support career development in mobility and innovation. As sponsors of the Brake Check checkpoint, our engineers offered feedback and learned from the creativity behind these student-built vehicles. #SAEInternational #EngineeringInspiration #Kia
