Mission
Alliance Française de Nashville is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to promote the French language and francophone cultures and to foster exchanges between French speakers throughout Middle Tennessee. To fulfill this mission, AFN organizes cultural events in the community, offers French classes and topical workshops, and funds two scholarships annually. AFN is also committed to providing a place where recent arrivals from francophone nations can make significant connections with other French speakers in Nashville.
Background
