Volunteering in Morocco

Volunteer in Morocco and submerse yourself in the souks and desert set against the superb film- set like backdrop of the peaks of the Atlas mountains. Volunteer work in Marrakesh offers exciting and varied volunteer experiences in and around the city from helping at orphanages to outdoor games in remote Berber villages. The volunteer Morocco group travels together each day so you won't be on your own and with plenty of opportunities to make friends volunteering in Morocco will be make an ideal volunteer abroad placement.

Volunteer in Morocco at one or more of the following: streetkids projects, small children's homes, baby orphanages,rural youth sport and activity sessions, orphanages street kids projects to remote villages and summer sport camps around Marrakesh. Volunteering in Morocco can be extremely varied. From helping disadvantaged children with their English to outdoor games to assisting at swimming sessions and weekends spent camping up in the hills on activity camp outs. A volunteer work schedule is organised by a volunteer coordinator according to local project demand and volunteer work group preferences at the time of your visit and you can opt in and out as much as you like according to your preferences and interests. Come open minded as volunteering abroad in Morocco can become even more exciting as new opportunities arise.

Morocco has a rich culture and is considered to have one of the most diversified cuisines in the world. The almost medieval-like hustle and bustle of Morocco is for most travellers a world away from their own cities and towns. The souks (covered markets) are a way of life in Morocco and you usually wont have to go far to find one. When you do-be careful you don't get lost! Moroccan culture can be an exiting and worldly experience. The people are friendly and the place is colourful. Hospitality is really a part of their culture so you can strike up friendships virtually anywhere if you have the right attitude.

Climate: Mediterranean. The average temperature in Morocco is 17 Celsius, although in Marrakesh, the hottest months are July and August where temperatures can be anywhere from 35 to 45 Celsius. The lowest temperatures are in January and can be 7 Celsius.
