Alliance Française Mpls/St Paul

The Alliance Française Mpls/St Paul (AFMSP) plays a pivotal role in representing the global diversity of the French-speaking world in Minnesota. We are a home for French-speakers and new learners, and anyone curious about Francophone arts, culture and creative programming. Each year, AFMSP hosts over 100 cultural events featuring local and international performances, authors, films, scholars and artists, so anyone from the Twin Cities metro can learn about and enjoy the cultural wealth of the Francophone world in our own backyard. Over 75% of our cultural programs are presented for free, with donations encouraged -- assuring that all who are interested can participate, learn, and celebrate!

In addition to the classes for all ages taught at our center and online, our programs in schools across the Metro-area, inspire hundreds of children and adults to become Francophiles and life-long French speakers. Our large French-language library and online resources support learning continuation and are a wonderful benefit of our low-cost annual membership. And our range of cooking classes explore global culinary traditions from Madagascar to Montreal.

Giving to Alliance Française Mpls/St Paul supports a community of people passionate about the French language and Francophone cultures in all their global diversity, and promotes cultural awareness and curiosity in the Twin Cities. Your contribution is an investment in an educational and cultural institution that enriches the lives of everyone, and is part of why Minnesota is such a great place to live!

Support language learning and multicultural programming in our community through your gift.
