Hi CYP Club Members,
Did you know that close to 120 people move to Columbus every day, and nearly 50% of our newest CYP members have lived here three years or less?
If you’re new to the city -- or know someone who is -- applications are now open for Crash Course Columbus 2026, our signature 3-month cohort experience designed to help new residents and new hires build meaningful connections across the city.
Over six curated sessions this spring (April-June), participants will experience:
• A German Village walking food tour
• A Downtown Columbus neighborhood bus tour (with lunch at North Market)
• An Arts & Culture networking night
• The Columbus Volunteer Festival (with team-building + food trucks)
• Buckeyes 101: Behind-the-scenes at OSU (including Ohio Stadium tour)
• A Columbus Clippers Dime-A-Dog Night baseball experience
• A bonus Grandview Hop capstone volunteer activation
Each participant also receives a Crash Course Columbus Passport Booklet, six months of CYPremium membership access (April–September), and a complimentary ticket to A Taste of Columbus.
