Wendy's Wonderful Kids Referral Form

Children's Service Center is the home of one of four Wendy's Wonderful Kids recruiters, in Pennsylvania. Wendy's Wonderful Kids is the signature program of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. The WWK program is built on a shared commitment to achieving Dave Thomas' vision that every child has a permanent home and loving family. The WWK program uses a Child-Focused Recruitment Model, creating individualized recruitment plans for each child. Dedicated to finding the best homes for youth, the adoption recruiters start with familiar circles of family, friends and neighbors and then reach out to the communities in which they live. The mission of WWK is to dramatically increase the number of adoptions from foster care in North America. Caseworkers can make referrals by contacting Ashley Campbell at acampbell@e-csc.org.
