Parking is paid digitally via the “ParkColumbus” or “ParkMobile” app. The variety of nearby, walkable restaurants and entertainment spaces create a great opportunity for hanging out afterwards!

Alumni-Coordinated Gatherings
In true Youth to Youth fashion, everyone’s invited!
After the open house (details above), five alumni who span the decades of Y2Y’s history are coordinating a casual get-together for their fellow alumni.
Immediately following the open house, alumni will be hanging out at Hofbrauhaus in Grandview, located at 800 Goodale Blvd Columbus, OH 43212.
Join alumni Chip Livisay (80s), Tom Reither (90s), Sarah Ho (2000s), Jacq Hackett (2000s), Damon DiSabato (2010s) and so many more alumni for a Friday evening hangout! No RSVP required.
This location boasts a neat atmosphere, great soft pretzels, and all the Y2Y Alumni! It also shares a parking lot with the hotel for out-of-town guests so those without transportation can easily attend the gathering.
Please note that the alumni-led gatherings on Friday are not hosted or sponsored by Youth to Youth, and each alumni joining should expect to pay for any food, beverages or activities.
To share an alumni gathering or for more information, contact Stephanie Christie at schristie@compdrug.org or 614.224.4506 X 149
