Burnaby Youth Custody Services

Burnaby Youth Custody Services (formerly Burnaby Youth Secure Custody Centre) is one of several secure custody facilities in British Columbia for both male and female residents aged between 12 and 18. They are on remand or have been sentenced under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The Mission Statement for youth custody programs is to provide a safe, secure, healthy and humane environment with a range of services that respond to the needs of youth, thereby promoting lawful behaviour and contributing to public safety.

If you are over the age of 21, have 1 ½ to 2 hours per week to give and are able to make a minimum 6 month commitment, we are eager to hear from you. Because there is a wide range of programs available, the program that you may become involved in depends on the times you are available, your interests, goals and skills.
