Our Travel Roots Sports Development Program in Morocco is designed for volunteers who believe in the power of sport to inspire, motivate, and build strong communities. In many underfunded neighbourhoods across Morocco, access to structured physical education is limited—yet children and teens have a deep love for movement, games, and teamwork.
As a volunteer, you’ll work with schools, community centres, or local sports clubs to lead activities that promote physical fitness, discipline, and cooperation. You might run warm-ups, lead skill drills, organise matches, or simply bring energy and encouragement to young players. Whether it’s football, basketball, athletics, or games for younger children, your involvement helps create a fun and positive environment where everyone feels included.
You’ll have the flexibility to introduce new ideas or sports based on your own background and interests. No formal coaching qualification is required—just a genuine passion for working with youth and supporting their growth on and off the field.
Key Activities:
Assisting PE teachers or local coaches with sports sessions
Leading warm-ups, drills, and fun team-building exercises

Volunteering on Our Travel Roots Sports Development Program in Morocco means more than just playing games—it’s about using sport as a catalyst for growth, connection, and confidence in communities that need it most.
For many children in under-resourced areas, sports sessions with volunteers are the highlight of their week.

Through teamwork and play, you’ll help build discipline, resilience, and self-esteem in young people—skills that go far beyond the pitch or court.

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.

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.
