Mission Statement
The goal of the Tune In to Strive Out Career Wellness Program is to empower students with the skills, self-knowledge, and know-how to cultivate a career and a lifestyle that aligns with their cultures and values. Designed for students, by students, we bridge the gap between theory and practice by creating and sharing interventions and activities based on student feedback, adaptable to diverse circumstances.
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 potential 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 (Career & Wellness Resources) and an intervention (Tune In to Strive Out) grounded in a Radical Healing framework.
