Following official information received yesterday pertaining to the Plan Vigipirate, applicable to all governmental and non-governmental institutions with a link to France, the  Alliance Francaise of Washington DC reserves the right to ask first-time visitors for their government-issue ID when they enter the building.

We thank you for your cooperation and understanding. This procedure is temporary but will remain in place until further notice.

Teens, Special Programs

The Alliance Française of Washington DC is proud to be a sought-after place of interest for local high school students studying French and in need of either Community Service Hours (Student Service Learning Hours) or Short to Long-Term Internships for their high school requirements.

There are different ways for a teen to help out at AFDC:

For young people, active participation in the life of our organization proves beneficial at multiple levels:

CIT Program (applications for 2023 Summer Camps are now closed)

Summer Camps take place over the course of 7 weeks and are held at our main address (2142 Wyoming Ave NW), a 15-minute walk from the Dupont Circle/ Woodley Park metro stations.

Hours: 8:30am-3:30pm

Days: Monday-Friday

If you study/speak French and need some Student Service-Learning hours, this is a perfect opportunity to improve your French. You will be surrounded by French teachers and some French-speaking children in a full immersion program. You can be a CIT for one, seven or any number of weeks in between!

Bonus: If you wish to take classes at AFDC, after 30 hours of volunteering, you will earn credits towards attending a French class for FREE at the Alliance Française.

To apply, please send your resume, cover letter and a list of three references (teachers and adults who know you well) to children@francedc.org. You will be contacted for an interview.
