Hello I’m Chloe Sills, the creator and founder of Within Teens. A little to know about me is I’m 15 years old and a sophomore at Redwood highschool, ‘24. I am a student athlete in competitive gymnastics and school tennis. I’m in tons of clubs and organizations including CSF, FCA, AVID club, Avid, Tulare County Youth Council (TCOE), a tutor for Brainiacs tutoring, and your average busy classmate. The reason I started this foundation is because as a teenager myself I have struggled with mental health such as anxiety. I feel like mental health isn’t talked about enough with teens and children and we’re undereducated or it can be shameful. I am against all of that and want to come forward with it. With my love for public speaking and mental health I believe this organization can be successful.
Co-Director
Hello, I’m Jordin Hinesly. I’m 15 and part of the 2024 class at Redwood high school. I’m a student athlete, who partakes in football and track, and love being active. I haven’t always loved sports, but sports made me feel good about my self, and that’s why i’m here. I would like to help kids feel more like them selfs, and not worry about what the world wants them to be. As the co-director of Within Teens, it is with my great pleaser to bring awareness to mental health, and help those in need.

I decided to join Within Teens because I myself have struggled with mental health and I want to help spread awareness to anybody who’ll listen. I am one of the photographers for within teens and I hope to capture the moments of what’s important: life.

Hi i’m Juliet Prosser. I am involved in a lot of things at Redwood High School like cheer, dance, FBLA, FCA, and athletes giving back. I spend a lot of my free time with my friends and church activities. I own a candle business on instagram that I started when I was 14 and plan to go to study business at BYU after high school. I was interested in joining Within Teens because connecting to those around me is one of my greatest values and I strive to understand others more and more each day, as the more we know about each other, the better people we can become. I hope to be an inspiration to many students in Tulare County and hope to make a lasting impression through my speeches.
