With a board and a director in place, a new program to advocate for abused and neglected children in the legal system will soon be underway. The Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Fayette County is part of a statewide network of community-based, non-profit programs that recruit, screen, train and supervise volunteers to be a voice for children removed from home due to abuse or neglect. Rebecca Matchett, the program specialist for the western region of PA CASA, said Fayetteâs involvement started in 2019 when county Judge Linda Cordaro contacted them with interest in implementing the CASA program in Fayette.
