Intern & Volunteer in Morocco
The Kingdom of Morocco offers a very rich and diverse culture with a blend of Arab, Berber, European and African influences. It’s known to be the most westerly country in North Africa. Morocco is located in Northern Africa and is unique amongst African nations because of its mountain interior, inland deserts and shares coastlines with the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
Volunteer in Morocco to support those who are unfortunately underrepresented. Despite Morocco’s economic progress, imbalances between the rich and poor persist. The country continues to suffer from poverty, illiteracy and high unemployment. Domestic violence is not explicitly criminalized in Morocco, so victims don’t have protection from the law or government. It’s said that the law is gender discriminatory, favouring men in many aspects. Other issues, like the exploitation of child domestic workers, continue to be an issue despite the ban on employing children below the age of 15. Through our internships and volunteer opportunities in Morocco, you can contribute to local efforts and support those driving change to these issues, whether that is through childcare, medical assistance, women’s empowerment, teaching English abroad or journalism.
Our volunteer projects and internships in Morocco are located in the Capital of Rabat. Rabat is the perfect blend of modern and traditional Morocco. The medina quarter is typical of Moroccan culture with windy narrow streets in between thick walls almost like a maze. Intern or volunteer in Morocco and see this beautiful country for yourself!
