Register Your Young Boss

Ready to join Boss Builders Academy? A parent or legal guardian should fill out the secure youth registration form.

The form collects the youth's full name, age, grade, parent or guardian name, telephone number and email address, and any food allergies or dietary safety needs (you may enter “None”).

Photo & video permission: A separate question lets the parent or guardian choose Yes or No to promotional photos and videos for our website, social media, flyers and advertising. Saying No does not affect registration.

Register Your Youth

Your form is handled through Wix Forms and will be reviewed by the program team. Food allergy information is collected to help plan for participant safety. Registration is received when you submit the form; we will contact you about enrollment details.
