Morocco Volunteer Programs from $24/day | Most Affordable & Trusted

We wanted to go on a service trip as a family during summer holiday and found a child care program in Morocco that enables our teenage daughters to volunteer with us. The main coordinator at IVHQ was always helpful with our questions leading up to the program, and its online resources were well thought out and useful. The local team and the host family were very warm and welcoming, and we had an amazing experience immersing in the local culture and tradition, while volunteering at the day care in the morning and sightseeing in the afternoon for a week. We had to put our heads together to come up with lesson plans and use the language skills fully (French and English) and it was great to see our kids engaged with activities with local children. It was enriching and rewarding, and one of the best family holidays.

I completed a volunteering program with IVHQ in Morocco, and it was an absolutely incredible experience! From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed and supported by the entire team. The vibrant culture, and rich history of Morocco provided a stunning backdrop for my volunteering journey.
One of the standout aspects of my experience was the exceptional local coordinator. Their dedication, professionalism, and passion for their work were truly inspiring. From the initial orientation to daily support, they ensured that everything ran smoothly and that I felt comfortable and confident in my role. They were always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and provide invaluable insights into Moroccan culture and customs.
The projects were thoughtfully organized and impactful. I had the opportunity to work closely with local communities, and I could see the positive difference our efforts were making. The hands-on experience was both fulfilling and eye-opening, and it was clear that IVHQ's partnerships with local organizations are strong and meaningful.
I cannot recommend IVHQ Morocco enough. It was a life-changing experience that broadened my horizons and allowed me to contribute to meaningful projects.

Volunteering with IVHQ has been one of the best experiences I've done in my life. It showed my a side in myself a was not able to recognize before. Not only I had chance to teach English to a group of women in Morocco, but also to get to know about their personal stories and struggles. Not to mention evrything I learned about Moroccan culture, about their people and about their values. IVHQ and the local manager assured that I had everything that I needed during my stay and they were always taking cara that I could enjoy the most of the experience! I will definitively encourage others to volunteer abroad with IVHQ because it opens your perspectives about life, about the world and about yourself!

Had a great time in Rabat, Morocco. The hospitality from our program coordinator and host family really made me comfortable. By the end of the week I really felt at home, had done a lot of exploring, and thoroughly enjoyed the students and teachers at the preschool where I volunteered. The teachers at my site were excellent and really welcomed me and my ideas for teaching. I also enjoyed walking and taking the train and trams through Morocco. I felt safe to traveling independently via train as well. All of this made made the trip unforgettable.

Reflecting on my time in Morocco brings a flood of warm memories. Habib's exceptional friendliness and support made me feel completely at ease, ensuring my safety and comfort. The camaraderie among fellow volunteers and the incredible kindness of the women I had the privilege to teach left a lasting impression. Morocco, with its rich culture and vibrant atmosphere, has left an indelible mark on my heart. As I move forward, I carry with me not just memories but a deep appreciation for the connections made and the experiences shared. I will truly miss the beauty and warmth of Morocco and its people.

I had an amazing time in Morocco with IVHQ. The local team was amazing making us feel safe from the start as well as pointing out local attractions and cultural information. Our home stay was so welcoming and made our stay so great. I really felt my volunteering in a local school helped make the children smile and they gained some English skills too! Thank you to everyone for making me feel so safe especially as a young female traveller. If you are on the fence just go for it, it really is an amazing experience for all.

I spent 2 months on the childcare programme in Morocco and overall, had a mixed experience. Firstly, I don't feel that the IVHQ website accurately describes what the volunteer role entails - I thought I would be running a mix of music, dance and craft activities with the children and encorporating some basic English lessons. However when I arrived, it was clear that the staff at the childcare centre expected me to teach English lessons to children as young as 3 years old throughout the day (10am-4pm). I wasn't prepared for this at all and there was limited support and resources provided by the teachers there.
Furthermore, the IVHQ website states that volunteers will be helping disadvantaged and underprivileged children in Morocco. But when I arrived, I discovered that all of the childcare centres on the programme are private centres that parents pay for their children to attend. Personally, I feel that volunteers would make a greater impact working with children whose parents cannot afford a private childcare centre.

On a more positive note, I really enjoyed staying with a local family in Rabat. They were very kind and welcoming (the mother even took me to experience the local hammam baths) and the food was delicious. I was also grateful for the opportunity to take some Fridays off from volunteering so I could travel slightly further on weekend trips and see different parts of Morocco.

Finally, I was somewhat disappointed by the support provided by ILCS staff (ILCS is the affiliate organisation that runs the Rabat programmes). I found that the orientation given when I first arrived was quite poor/insufficient and by the end of it I still didn't know how to use the local public transport, which areas of Rabat might be unsafe or what the actual volunteering would involve, despite asking the ILCS staff these questions. On the other hand, ILCS made it very quick and easy for me when I asked to change the childcare placement I was was originally placed on and staff frequently checked in to see how I was doing.

Overall, I would not specifically recommend the childcare programme run by IVHQ and ILCS in Rabat. However, I know other volunteers who signed up to teach English really enjoyed their time on that programme, for example.

If you’re thinking of volunteering with IVHQ, you absolutely must! The confidence this trip has given me, even in a week, is incredible. Being my first trip abroad alone with ADHD, I was excited but quite nervous however IVHQ, the local team/host family and other volunteers were lovely and so helpful. I learned so many things - navigating a new city and public transport alone (with the local team available if I got lost lol), teaching in front of a class (the students were brilliant and so grateful), and socialising in different languages (with both locals and volunteers). Also having the opportunity to experience another culture was amazing. The food was beautiful and my French speaking came on a lot, even in a week. Although, if you can, I would recommend going for more than a week since there is so much to do and you won’t have time (and won’t want to go back!). It also put me at ease knowing for sure once I was there that the organisation is ethical and actually contributes to the sustainable development goals! Overall, such a great experience!!!
