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.
