FRONTIERS

A civic/service club composed of men and women of all segments of our community. Frontiers of America was founded in Columbus, Ohio, on November 10, 1936 by Nimrod B. Allen. Frontiers was incorporated in Ohio on December 24, 1938, and was formed to provide men of various backgrounds an opportunity to offer community leadership and community service. Members are called "Yokefellows, "which is derived from the oxen bearing the burden of work through the yoke it wears." A Yokefellow recognizes that the community in which one lives is the plot of ground given to till to develop... Our mission is achieved through service to others and by harnessing the cooperative influence of community leaders and directing that influence towards solutions to major issues that are civic, social, and racial in nature... ​It was a different experience, but one that diversified our service agenda in allowing us to continue in our service to Nashville. Like NPT, we have an interest in educating Nashvillians..
