About Us
Founded in September of 2004, the Young Buckeyes of Greater Cleveland is a subsidiary of The Ohio State Alumni Club of Greater Cleveland, which is a member of The Ohio State University Alumni Association. The YBOC was created to bring together Ohio State Alumni, Fans, and Young Professionals in the Cleveland area through many social, community service, and fundraising activities.
Our activities directly impact the lives of future Buckeyes, as our primary focus is to raise scholarship funds for local high school students. Those that participate in our events and join the Young Buckeyes as a dues-paying member, have made it possible for many area students to pursue their education at Ohio State with less financial burden and support from a vast network of Buckeye Alumni, Friends and Fans.

Social Activities
One of our goals as an alumni club serving Greater Cleveland is to provide social activities for the many Ohio State alumni and fans in the area. Happy Hours and Game Watches are a great way to not only experience this wonderful city we call the CLE, but to do so with other Buckeye faithful.
We try to schedule Happy Hours once a month at various locations in Cleveland and the surrounding suburbs. If you have a suggestion on where we should host our next Happy Hour, please contact us. We are always on the lookout for great bars to add to our list!
The YBOC have partnered with Dive Bar to watch every football game and select basketball games at the Dive Bar in downtown Cleveland. Drink and food specials during every game, as well as special event activities throughout the year.
