Teaching English or French 

Although the Moroccan Government is working hard to  improve literacy and promote professional development  through the National Initiative for Human Development  (NIHD), a large portion of children and adults are not given  the opportunity to learn a second language to improve future  employment prospects. Volunteers on the Teaching English or  Teaching French project are placed in community centers that  provide free or very low cost language classes to members  of the local community. Volunteers can teach children,  teenagers or adults, depending on the center in which they  are placed. The centers often lack structure and organization  which requires volunteers to be adaptable and use their  initiative to be effective in their placements. Volunteers  assist the staff at these centers by running intensive language  classes, providing tutoring for school exams, helping with  homework, and organizing educational games and activities.  Often volunteers will run classes in tandem with another  international volunteer.
