# Leaving or Stepping Back

It's normal for you not to be able to commit to volunteering at some point! 

If you plan to take a short-term or long-term break from volunteering, you should tell your regional volunteer team so they can plan accordingly. 

If you are part of any CYF Google Groups, please remove yourself. You can always be readded upon return. We need to do this mainly for data/privacy and account number restrictions. 

If you are stepping back long-term, please get in touch with a [CYF Global Facilitator](https://codeyourfuture.io/meet-the-team/) so we can deactivate your Slack account. Don't worry, we can reactivate your account easily if you return! 

Also, don't forget to sign up for our email newsletter (scroll to the bottom of [our website](https://codeyourfuture.io/) to enter your email) to get little monthly updates on what's happening at CodeYourFure :relaxed:
