Go Experience Morocco is a program that enables people looking forward to volunteering abroad, the opportunity to volunteer in Morocco and get involved in the local community while living with a Moroccan host family, working in local NGO and discovering the beauty of the country.

Go Experience Morocco Team has a long experience in working with international volunteers by providing them different volunteering opportunities in Morocco. GEM team provides support to its volunteers prior to their arrival and while they are in the country. GEM spares no time and efforts to ensure that volunteers’ expectations are met and that they are having a great time within the program.

Volunteers arrive during the weekend prior to their program start date. All programs start on Monday. After having the orientation, the volunteers visit their placements for the first time and meet the local stuff as well as the students they will be working with. Volunteers also learn more about the placement and what are expected from them to do and the kind of the activities they will be taking part of.

The next day, the volunteers join the workplace and start their volunteer work. Volunteers could also work either in one center or in 2 separate placements in 2 different places, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. The activities are held during the whole week from Monday to Friday. Saturday and Sunday are days off for the volunteers where they can travel and explore other cities around in Morocco.
