Description: Volunteer Abroad with Cross-Cultural Solutions. Work side-by-side with local people and experience another culture like never before. It's the experience of a lifetime. As an international volunteer with Cross-Cultural Solutions, you're making a meaningful contribution, working side-by-side with local people and sharing in the goals of a community that warmly welcomes you. You're experiencing another culture like never before and really getting to know its people. You'll gain new perspectives and insight into the culture and yourself. It's an exciting and personally inspiring experience, and you'll develop memories that will be with you forever.

Enjoy the flexibility of choosing from 12 countries, start dates year-round and programs from 1-12 weeks long. CCS offers international volunteer programs in Brazil, China, Costa Rica, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Morocco, Peru, Russia, South Africa, Tanzania, Thailand. Wherever you choose, our in-country staff welcomes you to the CCS Home-Base, your home away from home. Cross-Cultural Solutions is a recognized leader in the field of international volunteering.

Highlights: As a volunteer in Morocco, you will have the opportunity to step into a modern imperial city, filled with stunningly beautiful palaces and mosques. On the banks of the Bou Regreg estuary, Rabat's winding streets, sun-drenched squares, and intricate works of art and architecture will transport you to another time and place.

With Cross-Cultural Solutions, you will truly immerse yourself in Moroccan culture. You'll work side-by-side with local people, contributing directly to community-based projects, some of which are located in shelters, known as boutainvilles. Most of these grassroots organizations focus on supporting and empowering women and children by providing education, employment, and social assistance.

While volunteering in Morocco, you'll learn how local traditions fostered by many years of history still continue in present-day Morocco. You'll hear about the cultural influence of European, African, and Arab people over the centuries, and how people of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian faiths enjoy both solidarity and pride in their nation's history. Walking through the Medina, or old city, you'll find winding roads to many different types of local Artisan markets. Also in Rabat you can experience the ancient Roman ruins, the Chellah, and the Royal Palace. The beauty, mystique, and charm of Morocco is truly world-renowned.
