Mission Statement
Tuned In Labs seeks to empower students with the skills, self-knowledge, and know-how to cultivate a career and a lifestyle that meets their values and ways of knowing. For students, by students, we seek to close the gap between theory and practice by condensing and disseminating researched interventions that you can adopt and adapt to support your thriving within your given context.
History
Together with students from UW-Madison and Cal Poly Pomona (CPP) and our CPP advisor, our goal is to help students cultivate, realize, and channel their inner potentialities to build local power and promote collective well-being.
To meet our mission, starting in spring 2022 we launched a multilayered approach to intervention including psychoeducation disseminated widely via social media and an intervention comprised of 6 modules.

Tuned in Toolkits
Our toolkits are resources designed for students to broaden their understanding of career development, entering and navigating the workforce, wellness management, and more. We encourage readers to save and/or print as many toolkits as they’d like for their future reference.
