Support for Disadvantaged Children and Social Education in Jerada, Morocco

Description

Isaaf Jerada Solidarity and Development is a true "driving force" of the associative dynamic in the province of Jerada, which works for the public interest and supports less-resourced NGOs. The volunteer with Isaaf Jerada will contribute to social projects with a significant impact on vulnerable children, particularly through a partnership with the Ministry of Solidarity, Social Integration, and Family. Tasks will include organizing daily activities such as educational workshops (art, IT, music), improving language and academic skills, and raising awareness about child protection. The volunteer will also develop tools for individual and group support, participate in project management, and assist with evaluations through report writing and project tracking. The workweek is Monday to Friday, 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM, with occasional weekend activities. The volunteer will collaborate with a small, dedicated team of four, working directly with the children and the local community.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

The mission is based in Jerada, a former mining town in northeastern Morocco with 50,000 residents. The volunteer will have access to a fully equipped office with internet and a professional address. Recreational facilities such as a gym, outdoor sports area, and a summer pool are available in Jerada. A furnished, secure, and insured apartment will be provided near the office, with electricity, water, and gas included. The mission covers travel to the location, accommodation (rent, insurance, utilities), monthly allowance and language courses.

Training during the activity

During your volunteer mission, you will gain insights into the Moroccan context, including its challenges and opportunities, while developing professional skills in project management, target mobilization, and supporting individuals facing severe exclusion. You'll also enhance personal skills such as adaptability, initiative, decision-making, and creativity. Additionally, you'll have the chance to learn Arabic and gain experience in nonprofit management, all while discovering a new culture and local traditions.

Participant profile

We are seeking a volunteer with significant experience in the nonprofit sector, particularly in child protection project methodology. Skills in facilitating and developing activities in a social center for children and adolescents, along with experience in awareness-raising communication and content creation for training, are highly valued. The ability to work collaboratively in a team is essential, and networking skills are desirable.
