Young Urbanist
Conversation Group for Young Professionals

Members Only

We believe that young people have the power to lead movements of change by making their voices heard.

Members will get together virtually to discuss a monthly topic and brainstorm ways they can make a difference in their communities, whether by reclaiming public space, advocating for transit & affordable housing, mentoring or empowering middle schoolers to believe in their ability to change, or fighting for equity in Nashville.

 
Join an Interest Community 

There is something special about getting together with other young professionals to discuss a topic you care about. More than getting together, you become a part of a special community that discusses similar interests in urban design, architecture, planning, livability, equity, public health, and transportation.

Bi-monthly Meet-ups

There will now be an exclusive Slack channel for:

  • Solving local issues

  • Posting career opportunities in the field

  • Sharing important and relevant news

  • Asking for advice about licensure, mentoring, policy changes in your city, and so much more

  • Having follow up discussion from the Bi-Monthly conversation sessions
