Re: assessment of civic engagement

Lori,

James Madison University has developed the Scale of Service-
Learning Involvement (SSLI) that might serve your purposes.  
You can view it at:

http://www.jmu.edu/assessment/atests.shtml#_Scale_of_Service

If you have any other questions take a look at our service-
learning web site:

www.jmu.edu/csl

I hope this helps.
