Associate Membership for Organizations

While any educator or other professional working with youth is welcome – and encouraged! – to take on an individual CPF membership, consider registering your school or organization as an Associate Member Organization, or AMO.

AMOs get access to the latest research-based information that they need in their professional lives, and can gain exclusive access to CPF programs.

Membership fee: $60 for one year, $150 for three years

65% of your fee is returned to your local chapter, where one exists, and 25% goes to the work of CPF Alberta. The remaining 10% helps to cover processing costs.

To become an Associate Member Organization:

  • join online, or
  • print out and mail in our membership application form, or
  • contact your local CPF chapter or CPF Alberta.
  • To change your address or your e-mail contact:

    .... will show the federal and provincial governments that Canadians actively support French-second-language education in our schools
