Nashville Youth Campus for Empowerment

A New Vision for Juvenile Justice in Nashville and Davidson County

 

Overview

The Nashville Youth Campus for Empowerment, known as NYCE, represents a major step forward in how Nashville and Davidson County serves young people, families, victims, and the broader community.

Located at 1354 Brick Church Pike, the new campus is being designed as a modern, trauma-informed, youth-centered facility that supports accountability, rehabilitation, public safety, and meaningful access to services. NYCE will replace the current Juvenile Justice Center at 100 Woodland Street and create a more effective environment for court operations, youth services, family engagement, and community-based support.

This project reflects the Court’s belief that young people should be held accountable in ways that also create opportunities for growth, healing, and long-term success.
