Testimonials

“My experience with Vantage Point has been amazing! Not only have I created a resume that my future employer is very impressed with, but I’ve also found my purpose in life with my one-on-ones. Nell is awesome and so down to earth, and has been a great life coach to me. I’ll be very sad when I graduate, but I’m very confident that I’ve learned the right tools to be successful.”

D.H., Class of 2016
