Abstract	Since 2006, the National Conference on Citizenship (NCoC), in partnership with the Civic Indicators Working Group, has published annual reports called "America's Civic Health Index." These reports have informed Americans about leading indicators of the nation's civic health and motivated citizens, leaders and policymakers to strengthen the foundations of civic engagement. "America's Civic Health Index" has become the leading gauge of how well Americans are connecting to each other and their communities, and measures rates of volunteering, voting, connections to civic and religious organizations, trust in other Americans and key institutions, and other civic behavior and attitudes. This year's survey adds a new dimension by investigating more personal forms of civic engagement that are especially salient at moments of economic contraction, such as giving people food or shelter in their own homes. The 2009 "America's Civic Health Index" found such forms of engagement especially common among America's least advantaged citizens. The Indicators of Civic Health is appended. (Contains 31 endnotes.)
