About Vantage Point 

Vantage Point is a British Columbia non-profit that serves other BC non-profits. Our vision is an inclusive community, where non-profits can achieve their fullest potential and drive sustainable change throughout the province and beyond. We promote connected communities by nurturing a strong non-profit sector. We achieve this by delivering high-quality training, resources, and advocacy that builds connection, creativity, and impact in the sector. With our main office situated on the unceded lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səlí’lwətaʔ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples, Vantage Point offers programs and services to non-profits across the lands of over 200 unique First Nations communities.

​Vantage Point is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive team and providing equitable opportunities in our recruitment processes. Vantage Point is particularly interested in considering applications from Indigenous, Black, 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, people with disabilities, or people from equity-deserving communities to reflect the sector we serve and our collective communities. ​
