Want to make a difference in the lives of young children while experiencing Morocco’s vibrant culture? Our Childcare Program in Morocco gives you the opportunity to support under-resourced kindergartens, nurseries, and daycare centres in local communities across the country.
As a volunteer, you’ll assist local staff in delivering fun, creative, and educational activities that stimulate development and provide much-needed care and attention to children aged 3–6. From helping with basic English lessons and story time to organising games, crafts, and music sessions, your presence will bring joy and structure to each child’s day.
Many of these children come from low-income families who cannot afford private childcare. By lending a hand, you’ll be helping to create a safe, nurturing space where young children can learn, play, and grow. Whether you're calming a restless toddler or teaching a group of kids how to count in English, your time will be filled with meaningful connections and rewarding challenges.

By volunteering on the Childcare Program, you’re not just filling a temporary role—you’re helping to create lasting change in the lives of young children and the communities that care for them. Many childcare centres in Morocco operate with limited resources, understaffed teams, and high numbers of children needing attention. Your support helps bridge this gap.
From the moment you greet the children each morning to the songs you sing or the stories you help tell, your presence brings structure, joy, and comfort to their day. You’ll help build their social skills, boost early language development, and encourage creativity in a way that leaves a lasting impression.
But your impact doesn’t stop there. Your cultural exchange opens minds—both theirs and yours. As you share your time, kindness, and ideas, you help foster an environment of openness, curiosity, and mutual respect. The memories you create will ripple beyond your time in Morocco, inspiring not just the children you care for, but also the families, staff, and fellow volunteers you meet along the way.
This isn’t just childcare—it’s change-making, heart-building work.
Your Home in Morocco
During your time on the program, you’ll be welcomed into a Moroccan homestay, where you'll live with a local family alongside fellow volunteers. This isn’t just a place to sleep—it’s a cultural immersion. You’ll gain a first-hand experience of daily Moroccan life, from shared meals to meaningful conversations and traditions passed down through generations.
Sleeping Arrangements
Volunteers may have their own room or share with one or two others, depending on the homestay. All rooms are comfortable and equipped with the essentials. Moroccan homes are communal by nature, with shared living areas and traditional couches (known as sedari) used for both sitting and dining.What’s Provided
•Bed and fresh linens
•Three daily meals prepared by your host family
•Wi-Fi access (available in all Rabat homestays)
•Support from your local host family throughout your stayWhat to Bring
Please bring your own towel and personal toiletries. The accommodation is modest but welcoming, offering everything you need for a meaningful, comfortable stay.Cultural Connection
Staying with a host family offers a rich opportunity to practice Darija (Moroccan Arabic dialect), try authentic home-cooked dishes like tagine and couscous, and engage in local customs. Your host family also receives support through your program fee, helping to empower local households while offering you a warm, inclusive space to call home.History
This community-driven initiative was created to connect passionate volunteers with local associations, daycares, and grassroots organisations across Morocco—in cities like Rabat, Salé, Casablanca, and Marrakech. It began as a way to support underfunded projects by matching them with individuals from around the world who want to make a difference while experiencing life in North Africa.
By working directly with local partners, this platform ensures that every volunteer placement is meaningful and well-supported. From early childhood centres to women’s empowerment initiatives, each collaboration focuses on real needs within the community and fosters long-term development through global exchange.
Mission & Vision
The mission is simple: to create authentic, impactful volunteer experiences that benefit both the local communities and the volunteers themselves. With a strong belief in cultural exchange and mutual learning, the platform offers flexible project options across various social and educational fields.
Volunteers are encouraged to immerse themselves in Moroccan life—whether through Arabic or French language classes, local excursions, or living with a host family—while making a tangible contribution to community wellbeing. The vision is a world where travel is more than sightseeing; it’s about connection, contribution, and shared growth.

Rabat, the capital city, is a relaxed coastal hub with palm-lined boulevards and centuries-old architecture. Its neighbour, Salé, offers a more traditional, local experience just across the river. Casablanca—the country’s economic centre—buzzes with energy, while Marrakech stuns with its red city walls, winding alleyways, and iconic Jemaa el-Fnaa square.
No matter where you’re placed, you’ll be welcomed into a warm, friendly community that values connection, tradition, and generosity. Your homestay accommodation will be close to your volunteer site, giving you a true taste of daily Moroccan life.
Morocco – A Tapestry of Cultures and Colours
Located at the crossroads of Europe and Africa, Morocco is a country that surprises and enchants at every turn. With landscapes that range from the Atlas Mountains to the vast Sahara Desert, and coastlines that stretch along both the Atlantic and Mediterranean, it’s a land of diversity and discovery.
You’ll find Islamic, Berber, Arab, and French influences woven into every part of life—from the food and fashion to the music and architecture. Wander through maze-like souks, sip mint tea in a quiet riad, or take in the call to prayer echoing through a centuries-old medina. Life here moves at its own rhythm.
The climate is typically warm and dry, with cooler temperatures in coastal cities and during winter months. It’s the perfect setting for both exploration and reflection—where each day offers something new to see, taste, and learn.
Volunteering in Morocco offers more than just meaningful work—it’s a gateway to rich experiences, stunning landscapes, and vibrant cultural adventures. In your free time and on weekends, you’ll have countless opportunities to explore the country and connect more deeply with its spirit.
