Internship Details
 
Human Rights & NGO Support internships in Morocco provide eye-opening insight into how organizations work to address complex societal challenges. Interns gain an opportunity to collaborate alongside NGOs, Support Groups and Youth Organizations. With the progression of human rights at the forefront of their mission, organizations work to promote acceptance, unity, and better quality of life, for a diverse range of people in Morocco. As an intern you’ll support professional advocates in their provision of services.

Morocco has a long history of demonstrating unique global leadership - it was the first country in the world to recognize the nation of the United States, in 1777! Although the progression of human’s rights has been challenged by a history of inequality, recent efforts have been made to improve conditions.

Modern amendments to legislation have increased female representation in Morocco, across a range of sectors. Since 2011, the Moroccan constitution also recognized human rights, in agreement with the Universal Human Rights Declaration. This legally provides for their protection and respect. However, despite such political assurances, deeply ingrained challenges to human rights remain.

Many NGOs in Morocco work tirelessly to address and support the marginalized groups of society, who are vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. In addition to addressing human rights issues for Moroccan people, many Human Rights organizations also focus on migrants and asylum seekers, and even the problem of trafficking. Given Morocco’s geographic position - lying directly across from Spain - it is the point where Africa meets Europe. Whether hoping to find better living and working conditions in Morocco, or hoping to transit over to the European continent, the challenges associated with migration and vulnerable people are incredibly complex.

There is a broad portfolio of both grassroots and international organizations for internship placements available within this Human Rights & NGO Support field. Hosted in the capital city of Rabat, you’ll find many organizations involved in a range of issues, related to diverse themes - for example, women’s rights, migrant support, LGBTQIA+, and more. Campaigning for equal rights, freeand ask for help when needed), as opposed to being intimidated by it. Bear in mind that language lessons can be added to the experience and we encourage participants to consider signing up for these.

In all cases, interns should expect that the first week of your experience will focus on settling in and gaining some introductory knowledge, as you will not “hit the ground running”. Rather, you should start with learning about the placement to gain an understanding of what you can build upon, develop, learn, and contribute. Ensure that you ask questions and provide feedback during the introductory period, so that your supervisor understands how you’re progressing. This will help them to better understand important details, such as how quickly you learn, what you find challenging, what you find interesting, etc.

Understand and expect that individual internship experiences vary, as the specific placement that you’re assigned will depend on review of your resume and your current level of studies and experience. Therefore, if you’re at a more introductory level, you should reasonably expect a more introductory internship. Likewise, if you’re interning for a shorter duration, you will have a different experience from someone who is interning for a longer duration. Placement preferences are considered but always subject to availability.

Typical Schedule: Approximately Monday to Friday, 9am - 5pm.
