June 2020 Update: Please access the Stakeholder Guide for more information regarding the youth center transfer between Spring Creek Youth Services Center and Zebulon Pike Youth Services Center that took place in June 2020.
Zebulon Pike Youth Services Center (ZPYSC) is a state-owned and operated secure detention youth center within the Division of Youth Services (DYS). ZPYSC is a 27-bed youth center that provides secure detention within the Southern Region of Colorado. For secure detention services, the youth center serves the 4th Judicial District encompassing two counties, Teller and El Paso County.
Youth are detained at ZPYSC for one of two reasons: secure placement pending a court hearing, or to serve a detention sentence of up to 45 days. For youth in detention at ZPYSC, a risk and needs assessment is provided to the court to assist in the identification of possible services that would facilitate a successful transition back into the community.
Educational services at ZPYSC are provided by Colorado Springs School District 12. Educational opportunities include core subjects, elective subjects and vocational instruction. The education program fosters an environment in which at-risk youth can experience success by focusing on achievement in basic academic and pre-vocational skills. While in school youth have the ability to work on grade-level appropriate work for credit transferable to high school graduation or a GED. In the education program, students discover and explore ideas in ways that encourage internalization and ownership of the learning process.
