Why Give to AFDC?

There are countless reasons to support AFDC from the expertise at French language and culture we bring to your desire and will to learn to the underserved students we support at the only French Language Immersion school in the District of Columbia to the events we bring to give you a taste of France in the Nation’s Capital.

For the last 70 years since its reopening after World war 2, Alliance Française has been promoting French language and French-speaking cultures through language classes, social and cultural events and resources.  An independent chapter of a world-wide organization, our Alliance Française is the 2nd largest in the United States.

AFDC plays a pivotal role in representing the global diversity of the French-speaking world in the Greater Washington area (DMV). Regardless of your language proficiency, nationality or background, everyone is always welcome.

Each year, we host cultural events featuring local and international authors, scholars and artists, celebrating international cultures.  In addition to the classes taught at our offices, our scholarship programs support students enrolled in French Language Immersion program; AFDC is also a destination of choice for high school students wanting to earn SSL hours for their graduation or who are required to complete an internship before graduating from high school. These opportunities inspire children and young adults to become Francophiles and life-long French speakers.
