Vantage Point's Youth Network

The Youth Network is created for youth, by youth, to support relationship-building and sector knowledge development with tomorrow's not-for-profit leaders.

Vantage Point's Youth Network is a series of opportunities for people in the not-for-profit sector, ages 18 - 35, to network and learn from not-for-profit leadership experts.

There are passionate young people who want to develop a career in not-for-profits. There are both incredible opportunities and fulfilling careers within the not-for-profit sector, but the path is not always straightforward. This network is led by a youth staff team at Vantage Point. Together, we can support each other and build the skills and knowledge to have thriving and meaningful careers.
