About Alliance Francaise de Baltimore
Since 1883, Alliance Française has grown into the world's largest non-profit network dedicated to advancing French language and culture globally, and Alliance Française de Baltimore carries on this legacy of cultural exchange in the heart of Baltimore, MD. The Baltimore chapter serves as a unique cultural hub where community members connect with French language and the diverse cultures of French-speaking nations. With over 40,000 participants engaged across 103 North American Alliance Française locations, the Baltimore organization provides a welcoming environment for learners at all levels to immerse themselves in French culture and language. The organization's commitment to quality is guaranteed through the Charte Qualité certification from the Fondation Alliance Française in Paris, reflecting decades of expertise in language education and cultural programming. Alliance Française de Baltimore operates as an entirely member-supported non-profit, embodying a grassroots commitment to cultural preservation and community engagement. The organization's essential missions include making French language education accessible to everyone, offering current perspectives on the multifaceted nature of French and French-speaking cultures, and celebrating cultural diversity through authentic programming. By becoming a member or participating in classes and cultural events, Baltimore residents support a global mission that has touched millions of lives since the first Alliance Française opened in Paris. The Baltimore community benefits from this international network's resources while maintaining local autonomy and cultural relevance.
