The New Jersey Civic Engagement Index measures three areas of Civic Engagement - community interaction, community involvement and political participation - for New Jersey counties in 2008 and 2010.
Why is this important?
Civic Engagement is generally agreed to be the process of working collaboratively to address issues. It often involves partnerships and coalitions that help mobilize resources and influence systems, and serves as a catalyst for changing policies, programs, and practices.
