About Us

The Alliance Française de Sacramento is the Capital Region’s French language and culture center, welcoming French-speaking people and francophiles from all over the Sacramento area. Founded in 2000 as an independent nonprofit organization, the Alliance now counts more than 600 members and 250 students per session.

The mission of the Alliance Française de Sacramento is to promote the French language and culture and to foster friendships between native French speakers and people living in the Sacramento region.

The Alliance Française is located in the E. Claire Raley Studios for the Arts (CLARA) in Midtown Sacramento. We welcome you to stop by for a visit during our office hours, call or email us, or fill out our contact form.

The experienced team at the Alliance Française de Sacramento is passionate about French. Meet our Executive Director, Candice Camier-Harrington, our staff members and French teachers. 

The Alliance Française de Sacramento Board of Directors, made up of community leaders, francophiles and native French speakers, provides guidance and direction for the organization.

The Alliance Française periodically has openings for experienced French teachers as well as internships for students from abroad and local universities.
