An Overview of our Volunteer Projects and Internships in Morocco
Childcare Volunteering in Morocco
Childcare volunteers in Morocco will work with underprivileged children. The children in this program have special needs or come from low-income families. Volunteers will organize fun and enriching activities for the kids that will help with their physical and mental growth and development.
Volunteers also assist in conducting language classes, educational workshops, and interactive sessions designed to support both the mental and physical development of the children. Activities may include music, dance, art, sports, storytelling, and creative play, helping to create a positive and stimulating environment.
Volunteers work for 4 to 5 hours a day on weekdays on this project. For students who choose to combine volunteering with Arabic study, the schedule is lighter, with around 2 hours of volunteering per day along with some days off so that volunteers can focus on their studies.
As a volunteer, you will contribute to:
- Supporting the cognitive, emotional, and physical development of children

Teaching English or French Volunteering in Morocco
Many of the Moroccan children from poor backgrounds do not have the opportunity to access education. Learning a foreign language will greatly help them acquire the necessary skills to be successful in today’s world. Teaching volunteers will work with underprivileged children and teach them English or French. They will motivate the children and provide them with the necessary guidance.
Despite the Moroccan government’s push to improve literacy and promote professional development through the National Initiative for Human Development (NIHD), a great deal of Moroccan children and teenagers do not have the opportunity to acquire marketable skills. These young Moroccans are conscious of the fact that speaking an international language will be of great use to them in advancing their education and positioning themselves in the job market.
Volunteers will assist the local teachers, run workshops, and organize learning games. They will also help the school in administration work and other ways as needed. Volunteers may also contribute by teaching basic information technology skills and supporting summer camps, depending on the time of year. When applying, volunteers must indicate which language they would like to teach; those who can teach both English and French are encouraged to mention this in their application.
As a volunteer, you will contribute to:
- Teaching English or French to underprivileged children and youth
- Assisting local teachers in classrooms and educational activities
- Organizing interactive workshops, learning games, and skill-building sessions
- Supporting school activities, administration, and seasonal programs such as summer camps
Program Requirement: No prior experience or qualification is needed for this program, except that you need to be fluent in the language you are teaching. You can choose to teach either English or French during your volunteer work in Morocco.
Program Duration: 1 week up to 3 months.
Women's Empowerment Volunteering in Morocco
Life for many Moroccan women from low-income areas can be quite challenging. They suffer from illiteracy, unemployment, and poverty.
Since 2005, when the National Initiative for Human Development (NIHD) was founded, the Moroccan government has been working hard to improve education and healthcare and promote work for women.
During your volunteer work in Morocco with the women, you will be motivating and encouraging them to make a positive change in their lives and be productive members of society. Volunteers will help with essential education and provide moral support to these women.
Volunteers will also teach the women skills for income generation, like sewing, art & craft, management, and computer skills. Depending on your skills and duration of stay, you may also contribute by teaching basic literacy, organizing activities such as sports and creative sessions, offering academic support for girls, or delivering sessions on finance, management, and other professional skills.

- Teaching income-generating skills such as sewing, crafts, and basic computer skills
