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, cooking, teaching art, arranging sport and activities, teaching French and/or English, computer training, sessions on women health, 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 with confidence in communicating in French and/or Arabic will have more opportunities to get involved in these activities, provided they have relevant training.

Our volunteers are accommodated in a homestay where you 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 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 Sdaders (Moroccan couches) are used as a sitting and dining room.

Influenced by African, Arab, Moorish and Berber cuisines, Moroccan cooking blends Mediterranean fruits and vegetables with spices, typically imported. A typical Moroccan meal begins with a series of hot and/or cold salads, followed by a tagine (Moroccan stew) and bread is eaten with every meal. Lamb or chicken dishes are common, as couscous topped with meat and vegetables. The consumption of pork and alcohol are prohibited, as per Muslim dietary restrictions and drinking mint tea is a daily tradition.
Our volunteers in Morocco are served three meals per day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). Running tap water is drinkable and bottled water is readily available in Morocco. Volunteers should budget approximately US$5 per week for mineral water (2 liters per day) if they want to stick to it. If you have any special dietary requirements, please let us know when you apply for the program so we can make arrangements for you.
Good access at the project site
Visa, flights, travel insurance or vaccinations are NOT included in the program fees.
The nearest airport is Sale Airport (RBA) in Rabat. We assist you to find cheap flights to Marruecos.
Going abroad is an adventure and it is always best to be prepared. Sudden illness or injury, cancellation or theft - a travel insurance for Marruecos provides security and is a plus to have.
If you are intending to volunteer in Marruecos you should seek medical advice before starting your social journey. Check your required vaccinations for Marruecos.
