When a youth minister (or any employee) lets you know they plan to leave their position, please use the following checklist:

​​

• Ensure you have received the employee's resignation letter. 

• Give the employee written receipt and acceptance of resignation letter.

• Put a copy of both letters in personnel file.

• Allow employee to gather personal belongings.

• Communicate employee departure to staff.

• Communicate employee departure to parents, teens, and parish at-large.

• Make a plan to thank them for their ministry and to prayerfully send them off.
