Our Mission
For more than one hundred years, the Federation of Alliances Françaises USA has served as a bridge between the Alliances in the United States and the Fondation Alliance Française in Paris. In our ever changing world, this partnership echoes the historical friendship between the United States and France; and the sustained mission we share: to support French language and French speaking cultures as they are practiced around the globe.

The Federation is dedicated to the support of the American network which, in turn, nourishes and educates its members and constituents. Inclusive in this is the continuing tradition of sharing the beauty of Francophone literature, art and history and its contribution to the multicultural richness of this world of 200 million French speakers.

Our chapters foster the exchange of information, ideas, and best practices, provide a forum for better understanding in our global community, and offer a platform for leadership and the promotion of our diverse cultures founded on universal values.
