Frontiers International, Inc. is one of the oldest African-American service organizations, meeting the needs of the community for over 85 years.
The Frontiers International, Inc. originally called Frontiers of America. The Club was founded in Columbus, Ohio, on November 10, 1936, and incorporated on December 10, 1038, by Nimrod B. Allen, a former Executive Director of the Akron YMCA and a well-known leader in the African community. The primary purpose of the organization was established to provide African American men with an outlet and opportunity to collectively serve their communities through a civic and service‑oriented leadership organization at a time when other organizations discriminated against them.
