Clovis action team launches community events and career fair in May

The Clovis City Commission meeting on April 24, 2025, highlighted two significant community initiatives aimed at enhancing local engagement and opportunities for residents.

First, the Clovis Action Team announced a relaunch of its branding initiative, which aims to promote the city’s unique history and attractions. Kicking off on May 10, the team will host a series of community events, including a showcase of eight iconic locations in Clovis. This initiative is designed to counter the perception that there is little to do in the area. Additionally, a community kite flying event is scheduled for May 31, aimed at families and children. The team emphasized that participation in these events supports efforts to beautify Clovis and attract visitors and new residents. They also unveiled a revamped website featuring local dining and lodging options, along with a revitalized social media presence to keep the community informed about upcoming events.

In another key discussion, the commission promoted the upcoming "Clovis Hires" career fair, set for April 30 at the Civic Center. This event targets young adults aged 16 to 24 and aims to connect them with local businesses and professionals in various career fields. The fair will feature around 40 local businesses and include panel discussions that align with the high school’s pathway program, which prepares students for trades. Organizers highlighted the importance of this event in providing young adults with insights into potential career paths and the educational requirements needed to pursue them.

These initiatives reflect the city’s commitment to fostering community spirit and providing valuable resources for its residents, particularly the youth. As Clovis continues to develop its identity and support its citizens, these events are expected to play a crucial role in enhancing local engagement and opportunities.
