OUR VOLUNTEER PROJECTS
We invite enthusiastic volunteers to join us on our community programmes in Taroudannt,
Southern Morocco, situated in the foothills of the mighty Atlas Mountains.
The volunteers we look for must have a real commitment to the aims of our work -
socio-economic development, building ties of friendship across countries, and increasing
cultural understanding.
We normally prefer our volunteers to have a good grasp of French or Arabic to facilitate
their work in the community. However, we also offer tuition in support of volunteers
who wish to build their language skills before they participate in the projects.
By participating in our volunteer projects, you will benefit from:
- Lodging in a host family, offering a
unique insight into the lives of Moroccans and their culture, and a base from which
to integrate into the community
- A full, taught induction course covering
the Arabic language, Moroccan culture and history, and bespoke preparation for the
role you will carry out
- In-depth pre-trip and in-country support, delivered
by the Moroccan Children’s Trust and Groupe Maroc Horizons
- A varied programme of work placements across
different institutions – including orphanages, schools, youth clubs or development
research activity.
- A number of guided excursions around Morocco,
including a final long trip at the end of the project to destinations such as the
mighty Atlas Mountains or the great Sahara desert.
My experiences in Morocco could not have been any better; I have the happiest memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life, and friends that I will always keep in touch with
