The Inspired Impact Podcast with Judy Carlson-Interview with June Everett, Founder and President of

June Everett, a Colorado native, is the Founder and President of Backpack Society. Her compassionate nature and dedication to helping others developed from a young age. Growing up in a low-income family in Rocky Ford, CO, she learned the importance of generosity and community support. Both of her parents also grew up in low-income households, and hearing about their struggles with food insecurity motivated her to pursue the path she is on today.

After her college years, June accumulated valuable operations management experience. Her transition to human resources reignited her passion for helping others. Following a successful 15-year career, she made a courageous decision. She left her role as an HR Director to establish Backpack Society, a non-profit organization aimed at making a positive impact on her community. Her bold step is a testament to her determination and the power of following one’s heart.

Backpack Society was officially founded in September 2019 and received its 501(C)(3) status in December of the same year. This significant milestone was made possible by the unwavering support of June’s community, family, and friends. Their belief in her vision and their active participation in the cause have been instrumental in the organization’s success.

Aside from her work, June loves genealogy and enjoys hiking, traveling, and spending time with her husband, two sons, and rescue dog, Ellie Mae.
