🇲🇦 ESC Volunteering in Morocco 🧒 Supporting Children Affected by the Earthquake 🤝

Description

Turn solidarity into meaningful action in Morocco! 🇲🇦

Join STARRY for a long-term volunteering experience in Jerada and the Al Haouz region, working alongside local communities and supporting children affected by the earthquake.

Prepare & Create – Develop creative, educational and participatory activities that support children’s well-being and resilience, while preparing practical tools for field activities.

Act & Connect – Bring your ideas into schools and communities, creating supportive spaces where children can learn, play, express themselves and connect.

Reflect & Share – Reflect on your activities and their impact, contribute to evaluation and help share the project results.

Activities run Monday–Friday. We are looking for 2 volunteers for a minimum of 8 months who are ready to learn, contribute, share their skills and become an active part of the community.

Come with purpose. Leave with a story. ❤️

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 8 - 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 8-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.

Participant profile

For Individual Volunteering, candidates must be 18–35 years old and legally reside in an eligible country (EU Member States, North Macedonia, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Türkiye). Applicants must have completed the compulsory Humanitarian Aid Volunteering training and must not have previously participated in individual Humanitarian Aid Volunteering. The total duration of this activity together with previous participation in EU volunteering programmes cannot exceed 12 months.

Could this be you?

You don’t need to be an expert. What matters most is your motivation, empathy, openness to learning and genuine willingness to contribute.

We are looking for open-minded, compassionate and proactive volunteers who are ready to commit to at least 8 months and work alongside local people in a different cultural and community environment.

This opportunity may be especially meaningful for you if you are interested in education, community work, social work, child development, non-formal learning or activities supporting children’s well-being and resilience.

Experience in teaching, facilitation, youth work or working with children is welcome, but not required. Your own talents matter too: arts, music, sports, storytelling, languages, creativity or any skill you can turn into a meaningful activity can become part of your contribution.

We value volunteers who are adaptable, culturally sensitive, responsible and comfortable working in a team. Patience, respectful communication and the willingness to take initiative are important.

If you are ready to learn, contribute, share your skills, build genuine connections and become an active part of the community, this could be your next chapter.
