A couple of weeks ago, we showed you how to create a youth group permission slip – this week, we’re going to cover how to create a youth registration form, as well as giving you a free template you can use.
To clarify the difference between the two types of forms, the permission slip is for when you plan special events, trips or activities, whereas the registration form is a form that’s to be completed when the young person first joins your youth group or project.
Each youth group will have different requirements as to what information is collected from parents/guardians, but here is a list of details that every registration form will usually need to have included:
- First & last name of youth
- DOB
- Address
- Email address
- Phone number
- Parent/guardian name
- Relationship to youth
- Email address
- Cell phone number
- Home phone number
- Other important information (e.g. medical info, allergies, special needs, etc)
- Parent/guardian signature
Here are some other details that you may wish to collect on the form:
- Names of siblings who are also in the group
- Photo release form
- Other emergency contact details
- Parental acceptance of youth behavior policy
If you just need a basic form requiring information from the first bullet list, please feel free to download and use this free youth registration form template.
Question: What other information do you ask for on the youth registration forms you use for your youth group or project? We’d love to hear in the comments below.
