About the Alliance Française Volunteer Program
|
The dedicated team of volunteers at the Alliance Française de Washington helps ensure the efficiency and quality of the many programs and services offered by the organization.
Volunteers at the Alliance work in the library/médiathèque, at cultural events, and in the administrative offices. Projects always vary, but volunteers may be asked to carry out such tasks as: reshelving books, setting up and breaking down events, serving food and beverages, directing visitors in the library and guests at events, updating databases, prepping development documents, assisting with fundraising events, and more. |

communications@francedc.org with an introduction of yourself, a resume, and a one to two-page
(two page MAX) writing sample to apply. No cover letter necessary.
Sample guidelines
The post should deal with a French or Francophone language or topic of your choice
(please avoid politics). Although you may absolutely write in the first person, keep in mind that
this blog promotes an organization, not an individual. This means that although you may certainly use your experiences as inspiration, generic recaps of your study abroad experiences or first trip to France are (most likely) not topics that will be very engaging to our readers.
You should provide a photo for the post’s thumbnail (which is cropped as a square). Additional pictures, images, or links are also welcome to be inserted into the text.
We would like these posts to be fun, engaging, and educational for the readers, so have fun with it yourself!
