School Overview

Mount View Youth Services Center (MVYSC) is a secure residential facility located in Denver, Colorado, operated by the Colorado Department of Human Services’ Division of Youth Services (DYS). It serves as a detention and commitment center for youth who have been placed in the juvenile justice system. The facility provides a structured environment focused on public safety, accountability, and the rehabilitation of young people through various educational, therapeutic, and vocational programs.

The center functions with a primary mission to help youth develop the skills necessary for successful reintegration into their communities. To achieve this, Mount View offers a comprehensive range of services, including academic schooling, behavioral health counseling, and evidence-based interventions designed to address the underlying factors contributing to delinquent behavior. By maintaining a balance between security and support, the facility aims to foster personal growth, encourage prosocial decision-making, and reduce the likelihood of recidivism among its residents.
