Julie Hudash , a dedicated social entrepreneur, founded Team Kids, a nonprofit in Irvine in 2001, aiming to empower children to enact positive change.

Her visionary leadership facilitated partnerships with schools, public safety departments and universities, fostering youth development and improving community relations. Julie’s pioneering research collaborations led to publications in esteemed journals and national presentations. Over 23 years, Team Kids has impacted more than a quarter million students across diverse communities, addressing local challenges and nurturing youth leadership. Committed to advocacy, Hudash contributes to major publications on youth issues. She received numerous accolades for her outstanding leadership and contributions to education and community welfare.
