Each year KidsPeace recognizes the outstanding work of its dedicated associates with its Associate Achievement Awards.

In addition, KidsPeace’s president has the opportunity to select an individual to receive the President’s Award. For 2022 the organization’s president Mike Slack chose Gina Delluva, Director of Education at the Orchard Hills Campus in Pennsylvania, for her extraordinary commitment to providing kids in our care the educational experiences they need to thrive and success in life. Mr. Slack noted that Gina’s involvement with KidsPeace extends back to her volunteer work as an undergraduate student, and she recently marked her 40th anniversary as a KidsPeace associate.
Mr. Slack described the Associate Achievement Awards as a way to thank the organization’s employees for “dedicating your career to the profession of helping others. There is no more admirable endeavor in making our communities and for that matter the world a better place… It is the dedication of the KidsPeace associate that makes us strong, that instills resilience and that shines the way for us to follow.”
Congratulations to all those recognized throughout our organization!
