: A youth group wants to copyright a volunteer program they developed for elementary schools. What copyright form do they need? Is there any information regarding laws/information about a group getting a copyright.
: Is it the same as a made for hire work - just done for free?

A copyright does not protect and idea only its mode of expression.

You can click on the Copyright Page of this Forum to get information about forms etc.

The open ended question that has been asked, can't be answered in the short space here. There are lots of potential problems with questions invovled with works for hire. It can be a morass.
