About Program
Known as the "Versailles of Morocco," Meknes is home to a beautiful blend of the Arab, Berber, and French cultures that comprise modern Morocco. The diverse and distinct districts of the city, such as the bustling Ville Nouvelle, and relaxing plazas and green spaces speak true of the traditional Moroccan lifestyle.
Throughout your program, you will create a portfolio of assignments and activities, including individual reflective essays, logs of hours, weekly journals, and group discussions. Through service at a local organization and guided reflection activities, our goal is to help you gain a better understanding of the local language, culture and community.
Each service-learning placement is unique, so please visit the ISA Service-Learning website to learn more about the specific placements and program options available in Meknes. We especially recommend our Meknes program for those interested in education and youth development or women's empowerment field placements.
