Our mission

Toward an inclusive society rich of volunteering culture and citizenship spirit.

Founded 10 October 1963, Chantiers Sociaux Marocains works for the recognition of volunteering as a tool for non-formal education and for the dignity of every person we serve — children with disabilities, orphans, refugees, women, elders, and patients in hospital wards.

We coordinate work camps, exchanges, and long-term placements across Morocco and in partnership with the ICYE Federation and the European Alliance of Work Camps Associations.
