Our Mission

The French Club of the Rio Grande Valley is a non-profit cultural organization established to meet the needs of French speakers if the Rio Grande Valley. It is viewed as a tool to encourage academics and acceptance of ethnic and cultural diversity. Open to every one, the club hosts Francophiles who share the same eager desire to encounter new friends.

In its effort to meet the needs of all its members, the Club organizes a wide and wild range of activities from food tasting, sport events, games, cultural lectures, student competitions, to traditional celebrations, films, etc.

In addition, for the past year, the club amplified its support toward teachers, high school and university students by granting scholarships, providing books, CDs, and other educational materials.

The club is a forum of exchanges and friendships, a vivid example of the international mission of the Rio Grande Valley.

Thank you for joining us!
