Launch Okanagan is once again inviting Okanagan residents to join its Dollars & Sense program, a free eight-week money management program designed for anyone experiencing financial difficulties or simply wants to gain better control of their finances.
The non-profit community organization stresses the “ welcoming and practical” nature of the program which focuses on essential topics like budgeting, spending, and debt management, all within a supportive online setting.
Dollars & Sense is open to everyone; no specific eligibility requirements and sessions are held live on Zoom.
Participants will learn:
- How to pay down debt;
• How to save for future goals or big purchase;
• How to use (and stick to) a budget;
• How to feel confident making financial decisions;
• How to build a stronger financial position for 1, 5, and 10 years into the future.
In addition to the group classes, experienced facilitators are available to answer individual money questions one-on-one, offering tailored guidance and support. All classes are recorded and will be sent out the next day to participants who can’t attend live.
“I thought the instruction was great! I felt like there was a deep care to genuinely help people feel more financially literate! I really appreciated the emails post workshop as well,” said one participant of the program.
Launch Okanagan is a community organization dedicated to empowering individuals and families to achieve financial security and independence. Operating across the Okanagan, it addresses the critical need for accessible financial education and support.
The course begins January 14, 2026 and runs every Wednesday 6-7:30 p.m. for eight weeks (ending March 4,, 2026). Visit launchokanagan.ca to register.
