General Observations

• Gunnison is the highest rated again this year.

• La Plata was the only county to increase this past year.

Routt County Observations:

• Routt is ranked second, improving from fourth in the previous year. The addition of additional organizations had the effect of improvinr our overall ranking, however when comparing year over year we moved backwards in total involvement.

Civic Youth Participation

RCLI=.88

What is the participation of youth citizens in service
organizations?

The Index measures civic engagement by analyzing the involvement of youth in service organizations. Many relevant clubs and associations such as skiing, soccer, music, arts and dance do not provide consistent data, therefore data from 4H, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts Clubs was included. More interest groups will be added as the data becomes available.

Greater percentages illustrate greater participation in youth service organizations. .
