Chelsea Tate

Board Member

Chelsea has spent over ten years working with local youth, guided by a genuine care for their growth and well-being. Having grown up in this community, she understands what it feels like when there aren’t enough spaces or supports for teens—and later saw those same gaps affect her own children. Those experiences have shaped her quiet commitment to helping create something better for the next generation.

She holds a degree in Social Science with a focus on human development and psychology, which helps inform her thoughtful, relationship-centered approach to working with youth. Chelsea is also trained in trauma-informed care and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), bringing a compassionate, informed lens to the way she supports teens and families.

Her work is rooted in the belief that every young person deserves understanding, encouragement, and the opportunity to thrive.
