The New Hampshire Civic Index

A new research study from St. Anselm College gives us a better idea of the level of civic knowledge and skills New Hampshire's youth and adult populations have, including the findings that there are high levels of participation by young people in community service and that there is a higher level of civic trust in all types of institutions by young people. The group will be holding community forums throughout the state in the coming months to discuss its findings, but you can get in early as The Exchange holds its own forum on how civic-minded Granite Staters really are. Laura's guests are Dean Spilliotes, Director of Research for the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College and lead investigator and author of the report, and Mica Stark, Managing Director of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics.
