Careers at High Atlas Foundation
Working at High Atlas Foundation
High Atlas Foundation is a Moroccan association and U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2000 by former Peace Corps Volunteers committed to furthering sustainable development in Morocco. Their love of the Moroccan people, culture, and local communities’ vast potential to generate shared prosperity are driving forces behind our work.
Working with us allows people who align with our values and vision to make a difference in the lives of people across Morocco. The work we do can be difficult and takes dedication to see multi-year projects through to successful conclusions. It is also incredibly rewarding work done in a vibrant network of colleagues, partners, and community members.
As a part of the High Atlas Foundation team, you’re part of a phenomenal group of change-makers who are taking on the challenge of supporting communities on their path to sustainability.
Values
We believe that all people should have the agency, opportunities, and resources to work toward creating the future they want for themselves and their communities.
We believe in the power of community-led sustainability projects to strengthen social ecosystems and unite people to create lasting prosperity for Morocco, the MENA region, and the world.
We place women’s empowerment at the center of our agricultural projects, supporting pathways to social and economic well-being.
We believe in the stability of nature-based solutions. In order to be truly sustainable, communities must take the lead to develop, maintain, and expand their success.
Our sustainable development projects begin with an invitation from the community — every time. We believe that communities are the experts on their unique context.
We believe in a human-centered partnership approach where communities take the lead on identifying, implementing, monitoring, and adapting sustainable solutions.
We honor and protect the cross-generational cultural heritage of the diverse groups we partner with, and merge tradition with innovative tools for continued community development.
