About
Our Vision
Our Mission
By partnering with a variety of established organizations, HDAS leverages our network of financial professionals to impart to women the fundamentals of financial literacy.


About Us
In the fall of 2017, a small group of volunteers got together and partnered with YWCA FOCUS@Work to put on free finance workshops for women in Vancouver, BC. Sessions were held in person until the Covid Pandemic in 2020. Sessions moved on-line and our audience increased to women outside of the FOCUS@Work program.
Her Dollars & Sense has held over 40 sessions, both in-person and online, since our beginning. We partner with other organizations to deliver financial education sessions in a safe learning environment so that women can learn to manage their own finances and investments.
Our sessions are educational in nature, we do not sell services nor do we provide financial advice.
