About Us
Our Story
Vantage Youth Group is led by a team of bright students with strong backgrounds in the business and financial field. Our story began after noticing a lack of local business and finance organizations providing opportunities and guidance to the youth. In an effort to help local students achieve their interests, we decided to establish a series of business-related programs, each appealing to finance & investments, business management, or entrepreneurship. Since then, we have expanded to numerous school systems within the Los Angeles area, and have worked with many extraordinary students along the way. We hope to continue expanding our impact and construct a student organization that will continue encouraging the next generation of young business professionals for years to come.
