Teach in Morocco by talking to our students! We are looking for volunteers to help in our language schools in Morocco. The main activity is simply talking to our students at the end of their lessons, helping them practise and gain confidence in speaking English or French.
We offer free accommodation, help with arrival and Moroccan food on selected days.

Food and fees transparency
There is no participation fee currently advertised. Volunteers should, however, expect to buy groceries and cook some of their own meals.
Recent food information
The original submission described food as included. More recent information suggests that selected Moroccan lunches are provided on some working days, while volunteers prepare most other meals themselves. Ask which meals are included at your assigned school and budget for personal groceries.

Visa requirements depend on the volunteer’s nationality. Please ask us what support is currently available and verify the applicable entry conditions before booking your journey.

Recent host information describes the trips as optional and low-cost, not necessarily free. Possible destinations include Chefchaouen, Tangier, Marrakesh, the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara. Confirm the price, transport, accommodation and itinerary before joining.
Possibility of paid extra work
The host originally stated that volunteers may be paid if they agree to do additional work.
Important clarification
Paid work is not guaranteed and no current payment rate or employment conditions have been provided. Any paid activity should be discussed separately from the volunteer exchange, with the tasks, hours, payment and legal conditions confirmed in writing before the work begins.
What can volunteers do in their free time?

Morocco has a wonderful variety of landscapes, including mountains, deserts, beaches and waterfalls. The climate is often warm and sunny, although temperatures vary greatly by season and region.
How to reach the school
We may be able to collect volunteers from Casablanca Airport when the school car and staff are available. If a pickup is not possible, we can explain how to reach the school by public transport and collect volunteers from the nearest bus or train station.
Arrival update
Free airport pickup is not mentioned in the academy’s most recent public information. Do not assume that a transfer is included. Confirm your assigned school, complete address, arrival point, transport instructions and any transfer cost before travelling.
Is there internet access?
Yes, although the speed and reliability may vary depending on the accommodation and location.
Can you accommodate responsible tourists or paying guests?
Yes, we may be able to accommodate responsible tourists and paying guests. Please contact us for current conditions.
Safeguarding note from Voluntouring.orgSome students may be under 18. Volunteers should participate only in organised educational activities with appropriate supervision from school staff. They should not accept unsupervised responsibility for children or publish photographs and videos without proper consent.
