Volunteer in Morocco

Anyone looking to volunteer in Morocco will experience a safe and moderate country in which traders from all over the world have contributed to an amazing richness and complexity of cultural life. Projects Abroad Pro’s specialist voluntary projects are available for anyone interested in volunteering in the developing world, including professionals on a career break, recent graduates or retired seniors.

Located at the very tip of North Africa, Morocco has both Atlantic and Mediterranean coastline, offering plenty of opportunities for relaxing on sandy beaches or scuba diving. The hectic mix of cultures is heavily influenced by Arabic and Islamic tradition, and rapidly modernising major cities are found alongside ancient desert communities whose way of life has remained unchanged for centuries. The main languages spoken are Arabic and French, but with the government looking to increase international business opportunities, learning English is fast becoming a necessity. Skilled volunteers looking for jobs abroad will find schools and businesses keen to learn from their experience and desperate take part in the country’s modernisation. Away from the workplace, Moroccan towns and cities offer vast networks of streets and markets to explore where acrobats, jugglers and snake charmers delight both locals and tourists. The famous Atlas Mountains offer plenty of hiking, skiing and snowboarding and for those who do not like the cold there are camel treks and off-road driving in the nearby desert.
