🔷 Activity Details
Description
We are looking for two volunteers that will spend 10 months in Jerada and Agadir–Al Haouz region, contributing to educational and psychosocial activities with children and communities. Activities will be carried out first in the city of Jerada, and secondly in the Al Haouz region in schools with children who were victims of the earthquake. The work will take place Monday to Friday.
The first axis of the project - 4 months, is intended to prepare specific activities for the psychological support of children victims of the earthquake. Volunteers will carry out participatory workshops on activity proposals and tools to be available to intervene in the field. The second axis of the project, that lasts the other 6 months, will be used to highlight the action plan for children in the intervention locations. Volunteers will develop creative and participatory activities designed to support children’s well-being and resilience, while preparing practical tools and methods for field activities.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Volunteers will stay in shared apartments with other volunteers, while each volunteer will have their own private room - offering both community life and personal space during the 10-month experience. Local transport to and from the activity sites will be provided by ISAAF. Volunteers will receive a food allowance of €10 per day to manage their own meals, as well as €500 pocket money per month for personal expenses. Travel costs to and from Morocco will also be covered according to ESC rules.
Training during the activity
Your learning journey starts even before you arrive in Morocco!
Volunteers will receive pre-departure and on-arrival training to help them feel prepared and confident for their 10-month experience. The training will cover the local context and culture, living and working conditions, the activities of ISAAF, safety and security measures, and practical guidance for everyday life. Throughout the activity, volunteers will also receive ongoing training, guidance and support to help them adapt, develop their skills and make the most of their experience.
Volunteers will also evaluate their activities, reflect on their impact and help document and share the project results.
Participant profile
We are looking for open-minded, adaptable, and culturally sensitive volunteers.
This opportunity is particularly suitable for people interested in education, community work, social work, child development, non-formal learning and activities supporting children’s well-being and resilience. Experience in teaching, facilitation, youth work or working with children is an advantage, but not mandatory. Creativity and skills in areas such as arts, music, sports, storytelling or other educational activities are also very welcome!

⚖️ What's the difference between ESC and Erasmus+? The ESC is for volunteering and solidarity, while Erasmus+ is broad learning mobility (study, training, youth exchanges). This guide compares age, funding, duration and application route, and includes a "choose this if…" decision guide. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/esc-vs-erasmus

🩺 What insurance do ESC volunteers get? Every ESC volunteer gets free group insurance (currently Henner) that complements the EHIC and covers medical, accident, hospitalisation, liability and travel. This guide explains what's insured, the coverage period (home-to-return plus two months) and how your organisation enrols you. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/esc-insurance
🌍 What is ESC Humanitarian Aid Volunteering? It's the ESC strand (EVHAC) that sends people aged 18–35 to work full-time in countries outside the EU, after mandatory two-stage training. This guide details the training, the application steps and what's covered. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/esc-humanitarian-aid-volunteering
💰 Is ESC volunteering fully funded? Yes for core costs: travel is reimbursed by distance band (€28–1,735+), and accommodation, food, local transport, insurance, language support and daily pocket money are covered. This guide gives the official 2026 figures and the honest travel-band caveat — note there is no salary. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/is-esc-fully-funded
