About the TAA

Established December 2023 in Washington DC

The TAPIF Alumni Association is a nationwide community for former TAPIF language assistants returning from France, which is dedicated to bringing alumni together through shared experiences and promoting French language and culture education. We foster a sense of connection among alumni, provide professional development and support, advocate for the interests of French language and culture education, and support French language and culture education in France.
