    Childcare

    Our Childcare volunteers/interns will provide assistance in a different range of environments; community centers, day care centers, orphanages, afterschool programs,​ ​and feeding programs. Volunteer/intern will work with children from underprivileged neighborhoods through organizing and engaging in activities to entertain the children and help develop their cognitive skills.


    Duties vary depending on projects but in general,  they involve giving personalized attention, providing educational support, teaching basic English, physical development activities (music, dance, toys, and games), and arts and craft (painting and drawing) and assisting with daily operations, such as feeding.



    English Teaching

    The impact of education is boundless and the influence our Teaching volunteers have on the communities we work in goes well beyond the classroom. Whether teaching English, other subjects or working on extracurricular activities, the students are eager to learn and participate.


    On the Teaching English project, you will work with children, teenagers, and adults, providing teaching in English. Your tasks will include running language classes, tutoring for school exams, provide support to local teachers or team up with other volunteers/interns in traditional classrooms, assisting with homework and organizing educational games and activities. 


    You can also assist in summer camps, during the school holidays.
    You do not need to be qualified or experienced teachers to participate, as you will have our support and assistance during our teacher training. However, we encourage you to come prepared by taking some online teaching training if possible.



    French Teaching

    French is widely spoken and written in many spheres of life, namely in banking and in private sectors in general.
    On the Teaching French project, you will work with children, teenagers, and adults, providing teaching in French. 


    Your tasks will include running language classes, tutoring for school exams, provide support to local teachers or team up with other volunteers/interns in traditional classrooms, assisting with homework and organizing educational games and activities. You can also assist in summer camps, during the school holidays.


    You will need to be fluent in oral and written French. As you will work with our support and placement staff, you do not need to be a qualified or experienced teacher to teach French.



    Sport Development

    Sport and physical activity are becoming increasingly popular within Moroccan culture, as locals have begun to recognize the value it has in personal and physical development.


    In addition to fostering teamwork and building social skills, the involvement in physical activity helps to alleviate delinquency among young Moroccans in developing communities.
    On the Sports Development project, you will contribute to the growth of the sport in Morocco through education and coaching of sports, such as rugby, basketball, volleyball, handball, soccer, and athletics. 


    You are also encouraged to introduce new sports and games to the centers in which you are placed. If you have a preference to teach a particular sport please include this in your application when you apply.


    Women's Education

    On this project, volunteers/interns will work in local organizations in Rabat, Casablanca, or Salé, with local women and young girls. You will focus primarily on education and teaching during your time in Morocco. However, other tasks can sometimes include sewing, teaching art, arranging sport and activities, teaching French and/or English, computer training, offering academic support for girls, and occasional childcare.


    If you have relevant skills, then you can also provide training in finance, management, income generating trade activities, health, communication, women’s rights, and single parenting. Additionally, if you have a background in business management you can assist in creating and managing online databases to showcase and sell items made by women in their associations. 


    If you have a background in education, you can also provide training to local teaching staff in best practice education and gender equality. These additional volunteer tasks are dependent on your program duration, as longer-term volunteers/interns with confidence in communicating in French and/or Arabic will have more opportunities to get involved in these activities, provided they have relevant training.


    Please note that while it is not required to be fluent in Arabic or French, it is recommended that you learn a few basic phrases so that you can communicate with the women you will be working with since most of them do not speak English.


    Requirements for Women’s Education in Morocco

    Ramadan Experience

    Ramadan takes place in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and Muslims worldwide observe this as a month of fasting. While fasting from dawn until sunset, Muslims refrain from consuming food and drinking liquids. In Morocco, the most prevalent religion is Islam, and around 98% of the population are practicing Muslims.


    The Ramadan experience project provides you with a unique opportunity to experience Ramadan in a Muslim Culture while helping socially disadvantaged families and brightening the daily lives of the children in poor neighborhoods. Your tasks will include teaching English, organizing workshops on ethics and values, running sports activities, organizing local field trips and collecting food for further distribution.


    If you wish to participate in the Ramadan project, you do not need to be a practicing Muslim, however, you are required to observe Ramadan customs while in Morocco. Please note, the Ramadan project is only available during the 4 weeks of Ramadan.



    Animal Care

    Rabat as the capital of Morocco is home to a lot of street cats and dogs. Institutions and organizations that work in this field are very few, and the ones who do are fully packed and work with minimal resources. 


    Volunteers on this program will work together with local volunteers in different activities including and not limited to feeding the animals, cleaning the animals and their barns, taking dogs in walks, receiving new dogs and cats to adapt in the center, helping people to choose a pet to take home among the animal’s center. Animals that volunteers will be responsible for are limited to dogs and cats.

  • Volunteers are accommodated in homestays where they will live with a local family and other volunteers. These families receive money from your program fee for support, food, and board. It is exciting to stay with a local family, as this is an opportunity to learn the Moroccan way of life, meet local people, eat local food, speak the local language (Darija: the Moroccan Arabic dialect) and engage in local customs and traditions.  


    Volunteers may share a room with other volunteers but in many homestays, volunteers have their own rooms. Volunteers are recommended to bring their towel and toiletries. It is important to note that Moroccan homes have a shared living environment in which Moroccan couches are used as a sitting and dining room.
