Mission

Le Pont du Gard, Provence

The mission of the Alliance Française in the United States is to promote French and francophone language and culture and to encourage cultural, intellectual and artistic exchanges between the United States and the French-speaking world.

As one of more than 100 Alliance chapters in the United States and more than 800 chapters through the world, we work to fulfill this mission in the greater Lansing area. Simply stated, the mission of our Alliance Française-Lansing chapter is to promote, share and enjoy the culture, language and friendship of the French-speaking world.

In pursuit of the international mission statement of Alliance Française, AF-Lansing has personalized its local role through our own vision statement :

Alliance Française-Lansing Chapter fulfills its mission of increasing French awareness and French learning opportunities for its members by partnering with and inspiring francophone and francophile organizations in the Greater Lansing area. AF-Lansing works collaboratively on behalf of its members to share expertise and ideas that promote a growing awareness, exchange and mutual understanding of French language and culture.

We hope you’ll join us in learning about and enjoying France and the French-speaking world !
