Alliance Française of Tucson

Speaking French is not required for joining, only an interest in the French language and the cultures of France, the 28 countries where French is an official language, and around 285 million people around the world who speak or study French.

Of diverse national origins from four continents, AF Tucson members range from native-born speakers to those who speak only English, and from students to retirees.

A volunteer organization

AF Tucson is run by an all-volunteer board of directors. It has no paid staff. Members and the public are welcome to attend the board’s business meetings, held monthly August-November and January-April, usually on the third Thursday of the month.
