Vision

To empower the youth of Azilal through education, community development, and cultural preservation, building opportunities that are locally owned and community-driven.

Our Story

Awal Nouzilal (“Voice of Azilal” in Tamazight) was founded in Azilal by Andrew Larson, Mohammed Ali Qahir, and local youth leaders. From the start it focused on capacity building—training youth to design programs, run operations, and lead—ensuring local, lasting ownership. Today leadership is shared: Mohammed Ali Qahir heads Morocco operations and programs; Andrew Larson oversees international partnerships, strategy, and storytelling.

Work With Us!

Our Values

  • Young people are decision-makers, not just participants.

  • Community-based partnerships, not top-down programming.

  • We teach youth how to build, analyze, improve.

  • Our space is designed for dignity and trust.

  • We support exchange and intercultural learning responsibly.

Keep up with the CREW in Azilal!
