Who We Are

The Foundation is a 501 (c)(3), not-for-profit, charitable organization that was established in 1996 to facilitate the unrestricted access of all members of the public–rich or poor, single or married, of every sex, race, religion or creed–to the legal programs and services available and necessary for the protection of individual rights and the overall preservation of justice and safety for all residents of Kane County.

The NEST (Neutral Exchange Supervised Time) Family Center

Parents in family court often need a neutral exchange site or a place for supervised parenting time, but there are currently very few options available in Kane County. Families often are forced to use local police departments or public spaces for neutral exchanges. Additionally, if a parent is required to have supervised parenting time, they often struggle to find a suitable supervisor or afford a professional service.

The NEST Family Center, will be a premier facility within Kane County to provide these vital resources to the community.
