When you’re resigning from a volunteer position, it’s important to resign as gracefully as you would from paid employment. Why does it make a difference how you resign?

First, it’s common courtesy to give notice whenever possible. A no-show is inconvenient and confusing for the volunteer coordinator and other volunteers. Even though you are not paid as a volunteer, you’re still needed. The organization will have to figure out how to cover your responsibilities and time.

Secondly, people you work for and with when you volunteer make perfect personal references. Leaving on a good note will help you secure a positive recommendation for your next job or volunteer position. 

How to Resign From a Volunteer Position

Here's a good rule of thumb: Follow all the same rules for resigning from a volunteer position that you would for a paid position. That means to be polite and respectful of the volunteer organization's needs. But, no need to share a lot of detail about why you're resigning; you can keep your letter brief and to the point. 

How much notice should you give? If you can, two weeks notice is the standard. If you can’t, give as much notice as possible. There are no set requirements for leaving a volunteer job or regular employment, so it's up to you to decide how much advance notice to give. Make sure your letter clearly conveys the last date you will be available as a volunteer.

You can say "Today will be my last day as a volunteer at XYZ." or "As of July 1, I won't be available as a volunteer."  

How should you resign? It’s fine to send an email message to the volunteer coordinator or whomever you work with letting them know you will no longer be available. If you prefer, mail a formal paper letter to the organization.
