Clearfield Council proclaims city a ‘Just Serve’ community; council approves proclamation
Summary
The Clearfield City Council approved a proclamation committing the city to promote volunteerism and to use JustServe.org; the proclamation was read by Mayor Pro Tem Dakota Worth and moved by Council Member Roper with a second from Council Member Peterson.
The Clearfield City Council voted to proclaim Clearfield a Just Serve City and to encourage residents to use JustServe.org to find volunteer opportunities.
Joni Phillips, who identified herself as a Clearfield resident and a representative of Just Served, told the council “Just Served is a free app, available on your phone or on the computer at justserve.org that links service projects in the area with people who are willing to serve.” Phillips described recent local volunteer activity, saying 150 people took part in a project at the FrontRunner station at Tower Park and citing ongoing use of the platform by local organizations including Lotus Impact, Nations for Christ, the Hope Center and Open Doors.
Mayor Pro Tem Dakota Worth read a proclamation committing Clearfield to “promoting volunteerism,” leveraging JustServe.org “to make it easier for residents to find and engage in volunteer opportunities,” and regularly acknowledging volunteers. After the reading, Council Member Roper moved to approve the proclamation and Council Member Peterson seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote; a roll‑call tally was not recorded in the public meeting transcript.
Phillips urged use of the platform for recurring community events such as food drives and the city’s Fourth of July activities and said Clearfield High School and Wasatch Elementary are beginning projects through JustServe.
Why this matters: the proclamation signals a formal city-level endorsement of the national JustServe platform as a tool for organizing volunteer labor and promoting civic engagement; it does not commit city funds beyond existing support and primarily functions as an outreach and recognition measure.
