Life Skills Project - Morocco

Got a superpower that others could benefit from? Can you work wonders with Excel, come up with a snappy marketing campaign, or hit a ball so hard it ends up straight in the shopping cart at the local supermarket? Or maybe you're the King or Queen of painting, dancing, or accounting (yep, that's cool too!). Either way, your skills are worth their weight in gold for this inspiring volunteer project in Morocco!

In this project, you'll work alongside students to help them dream big and tackle obstacles with ease. You’ll share your own life story, including those moments when you thought, “HELP, this is never going to work!”... and how you made it happen anyway. Let’s be honest, everyone loves a good success story with a healthy dose of reality. The goal? To motivate students to go all out at school and in their communities, so they can grow into change-makers that everyone can be proud of.

Alongside the work, you'll enjoy delicious Moroccan meals with your host family (yes, couscous is always a treat), explore vibrant cities, and get the chance to discover the country’s most beautiful spots. Oh, and a bonus is that you’ll only be working from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, so there's plenty of time for adventure!

In short, pack your bags, put your talents in your backpack, and head to Morocco to inspire others, and yourself. Who knows, you might even pick up a new skill, like rug weaving, becoming a tajine masterchef, or how to feel totally zen while negotiating at a local market. Anything is possible!

Work Activities

This volunteer project in Morocco is all about sharing, learning, and inspiring. Got skills that could benefit others? This is your chance to put those talents to good use! You'll work with students to help build their confidence, skills, and future plans. Whether you're great with numbers, creatively inclined, or can motivate others with your energy, your input will make a world of difference.

What can you do? Pretty much anything you’re good at! Here are some ideas:

• Digital Skills: Show students how to use programs like Word and Excel to take their schoolwork or projects to the next level.
• Accounting: Share your knowledge of finances, budgeting, and how to get a handle on the numbers. This is perfect for students with entrepreneurial ambitions!
• First Aid: Teach basic skills like bandaging or first aid knowledge that always comes in handy.
• Sports and Movement: Organise sports activities that teach students teamwork, perseverance, and how to have fun.
• Creative Workshops: Let your creativity run wild! Think painting, drawing, dancing, or making music. Activities that are not only fun but also encourage self-expression.
• Marketing: Inspire students to present their ideas and dreams to the world, from branding to social media strategies.

Your work will be flexible and tailored to what you can contribute and what the students need. No two days are the same, and you’ll work closely with the enthusiastic staff of the local NGO. Together, you’ll make an impact that reaches beyond the classroom.
