Leslie Slingsby, Executive Director of Mission Kids, honored as “Superhero” by United Way

Mission Kids Child Advocacy Center is proud of our Executive Director, Leslie Slingsby, who was honored Friday night by the United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey as a “Superhero” for her work benefiting child abuse victims in Montgomery County.

Leslie said she was thankful and proud to be nominated, but said she felt the men and women who help kids each day are those who deserve thanks from the public.

“We help make sure that children who have been abused are in a trauma-informed care program, in response to child abuse allegations. Truly, it’s the people who do the work in the organization who deserve the credit. It was very kind of them to nominate me, but I know who are the real superheroes,” Slingsby said.
