Voluntary Leave from the Supporter Program

Sometimes it is necessary for Community Supporters to step back from their duties, and that is okay! If you are a program supporter and need to step back from your duties, it is important to let the team know so other program supporters can take over and/or onboard new supporters.

Going inactive does not mean you cannot come back! Our community will always be around, and the team will welcome you back whenever you are ready to return. 🙂

For supporters assisting another supporter to transition to inactive, follow the process “Checklist for removing access when a supporter is inactive”.
