The Financially Fit DC is a comprehensive financial literacy program designed to empower all District residents to take control of their financial health. It was one of Mayor Bowser’s key initiatives launched in January 2017.

The Program offers access to financial education tools and resources to help connect individuals and families with resources personalized for their financial situation. It is a great program to help enlighten individuals, especially young people, and families early in life on what it takes to build wealth, make a budget, prepare to buy a home, plan for retirement, and most importantly, achieve financial freedom.
