Hoping to volunteer with children in Morocco? We have the Morocco volunteer experience for you! You’ll be able to work with children in childcare centres, NGOs that help street children and run kindergartens for disadvantaged children in Rabat. There is a huge number of children living in poverty and are often deprived of education and a good life.You can help change this. Your main responsibilities will include basic education and encouraging their creativity through art, dance, and song.

You will also have the opportunity to work with differently abled children and support them through similar activities. This volunteering opportunity in Morocco would be well-suited to those interested in child development, as well as nursery care. If you’re looking for something more specialised in education, we can help you volunteer in Morocco.

Volunteering as a teacher in Morocco has never been easier with VolSol! Our Teaching English and/or French program will allow you to put your pedagogical skills into practice and support local teachers there. Morocco has one of the lowest literacy rates in the world, despite the fact that the government provides free education to children below 15 years of age. You’ll be assisting in the regular tasks of the school by preparing lesson plans, conducting classes, preparing tests etc.

Thinking that your skills are better suited elsewhere? We have other options available to you! Our volunteer organisations in Morocco also include a Women’s Empowerment program, where you can help foment independence and autonomy to women who have otherwise lost their voice. Your work will touch upon multiple women’s rights issues, such as reproductive health, land rights, and domestic violence. You’ll support through administrative assistance, literacy classes, computer training, as well as providing counselling!

If administrative support and the ongoing work of an NGO appeals to you, our NGO Support program might be just the ticket for you. You’ll be placed in an NGO working to alleviate the issues many face in Rabat. Expect to support the promotion of human rights, including rights of the child and women’s rights, in addition to strengthening government accountability and services.

With Rabat being the capital city, many items you may need will be readily available! Forgetting something won’t be a problem. Here’s some basics that we suggest taking along with you:

• Comfortable, conservative clothes. Light and airy long sleeved tops and trousers are recommended! Cotton and linen are great options.
• A small bum bag to keep your valuables close by and handy when you’re walking around town and on the project! Nothing worse than having to hold your phone all the time.
• A lightweight scarf or shawl. If you’re visiting a religious site, it’s always handy to have something lightweight to cover up in!

If you are working with children, it is also advisable to bring some donations to the project you will be joining. For example, colouring books, teaching materials, toys, stationery etc. You can also buy these locally to help support local vendors and small businesses.

Morocco is spectacular all-year-round, and doesn’t have a dry or rainy seasons, rather the full 4 seasons. If you want to enjoy warm temperatures and sunny spells, spring and autumn are the best times to go. In the summer months, temperatures can rise to 30 degrees celsius, but as a coastal town, there is always a gentle breeze to keep you cool!

It’s always worth checking if your visit will coincide with the Islamic holy month of Ramadan - some sites may not be open and the town may be quieter during the day! However, a visit around the time of Eid would be an enriching cultural experience!

Our Morocco volunteer experiences are open all year round, so you’re welcome to join anytime!
