In 2015, the AATF inaugurated the Jeunes Amis du Français, an honorary society for middle and elementary school students. It provides a vehicle to focus activities around French language and Francophone literatures and cultures and to encourage participation in the annual writing contest.
In addition, students can acquire leadership skills by participating in age-appropriate service activities and leading chapter events.

The establishment of a chapter of the Société Honoraire de Français offers several benefits to a secondary French program. It provides an opportunity to recognize outstanding scholarship in the study of French, to place a special seal on the graduate’s diploma, to wear a tri-colored cord or a stole at graduation, and to wear the honor society’s official regalia.
