About Us
The Nashville Junior Chamber was founded in 1921 for the purpose of offering civic and social opportunities for young professionals in the Nashville area. As our organization evolved, these opportunities have changed and adapted, but one thing remains constant: NJC opportunities enable members to connect with other young professionals and established business leaders while engaging in unparalleled hands-on professional development and leadership training.
Our Vision is to develop the foundation for success for Nashville's young professionals.
Our Mission is to develop our members personally, professionally and philanthropically by maximizing our individual and collective potential.
Our Values — As an organization, we center around these 4 principles to better serve our members: Development, Inclusivity, Community, and Engagement.
Our Four Pillars
These Four Pillars define our focus as an organization. It's how we achieve our mission to develop our members personally and professionally by maximizing our individual and collective potential.
Throughout our Four Pillars, the Nashville Junior Chamber has a commitment and passion for strong and engaging membership, programming, and events to ensure that Nashville’s young professionals have a space to grow personally and professionally.
Professional Development
Learn from peers and seasoned professionals at regular events featuring business leaders and networking opportunities. Attend a First Friday luncheon and learn from some of Nashville's most respected business leaders. Ask questions and connect with professionals in a variety of fields. Additionally, the NJC hosts quarterly Pathfinder Workshops to hone specific skills.
Civic
The NJC has a proud legacy of active involvement in Nashville’s civic life. Members have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact while embracing the city’s rich culture. Whether you're interested in exploring a new favorite neighborhood, engaging with pressing social issues, or sharing your opinion, the NJC offers a platform for connection, service, and discovery.
Philanthropy
Give back to the Nashville community through fundraising events and service projects. Each year we host events to raise funds for our charitable partners. From our Golf Invitational to Annual Gala, you can help plan or simply attend these events and make a huge difference. Beyond large-scale philanthropic events, the NJC also hosts volunteer hands-on experiences that benefit various nonprofits around Nashville once a month.
Networking
Meet young professionals and community leaders in professional and social environments. From monthly mixers to our monthly membership meetings, members have opportunities to network and build professional and personal connections multiple times a month.
