What are these points for?
Points are the form of currency that you will use to obtain free classes. All volunteer shifts are counted by the hour unless otherwise indicated* (1 hour = 1 point).
*Class registration and other tasks may be assigned higher values at the discretion of the volunteer coordinator.
Number of points needed to take a free class:
1 general language course ($245)= 40 points
1 Specialized course ($265) = 45 points
1 Accelerated course ($265) = 50 points
To take your free class, please send an email to the Volunteer Coordinator at least 2 weeks prior to the start of the class.
How do I keep track of my points?
It's easy! Simply obtain a volunteer sign-in sheet from the front reception. Completed sheets are filed in the Volunteer Sign-In Book.
Remarks from our volunteers :
Robert Miller: Volunteering at the Alliance is a fun way to meet
people and practice your French, not to mention the free wine and food !
Pat Bingue : Ce qui m'a beaucoup plu durant mon expérience de bénévole est la rencontre des francophones et des gens qui ont une affinité pour la culture francophone vivant à Chicago. Cela a été une expérience très enrichissante.
Sarah Anzia: I always look forward to my evenings at the Alliance Française because I enjoy being surrounded by lovers of French language and culture like myself. The cooking demonstrations, lectures, and special events attract people of all ages and backgrounds, a formula for fascinating interaction. The quality of the events, moreover, is superb. The food, wine, culture, and conversation make my evenings at the Alliance Française fun and fulfilling.
