The Youth Center is a temporary holding facility (detention center) for alleged and adjudicated delinquent juveniles. It is operated under the authority of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Human Services, Title 55, PA Code 3800 – Secure Detention Facility. Youth between the ages of 10 years and 18 years, alleged to have committed a crime and under the authority of the Bucks County Juvenile Court, are remanded to the secure care of the center. They remain under the care, custody and control of the Youth Center until a disposition has been finalized by the Juvenile Court.

The Youth Center also operates a Non-Secure, Community Based Residential Service Unit for males and females. The Residential Program offers individual, group and family counseling for its residents and operates under a Restorative Justice Model.
