The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary has served as the civilian, non-military component of the United States Coast Guard since its creation by Congress in 1939. Today, the 33,000 volunteer women and men of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary are active on the waterways and classrooms across the nation. Each year, Auxiliarists save almost 500 lives and assist some 15,000 boaters in distress. Auxiliarists also conduct more than 150,000 courtesy safety examinations of recreational vessels, and teach over 500,000 students in boating and water safety courses, and help protect our valuable marine resources.
Help Save Lives: The Coast Guard Auxiliary needs a few good women and men like you to help make boating in America safer,and to protect our marine environment, not only by provision of direct services, but also by assisting in vessel inspections, and in training recreational and other boaters. As an Auxiliarist, you will have the opportunity to select and participate in one or more of the Auxiliary's major operational and educational programs.
If you wish to be of value to your community,and you love the sea and boating, the Coast Guard Auxiliary may the right place for you! You may choose to become involved in on-water Operations, the Auxiliary's Public Education Program, the Courtesy Vessel Safety Check Program, as a Radio Watchstander, as a Coast Guard Recruiter, or in the fields of Marine Environmental Protection or Coast Guard Administration.

Auxiliarists receive valuable training in boat handling, navigation, communications, rescue operations, and related skills. This valuable training will give you the sense of confidence of knowing that you are a better and safer boater.

We furnish and maintain our own equipment and can choose to participate at a level tailored to our individual capabilities. We provide boating safety classes for youth and adults and examine recreational vessels for safety equipment to ensure that our neighbors will be safe on the waterways.
Help Preserve Marine Resources:Auxiliarists who are residents of California's Central Coast also have the opportunity to assist in the preservation of marine resources in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, and to receive special training to help prevent pollution of our rich marine environment.
Enjoy Being Part of The Team: We enjoy the good company of other Auxiliarists at meetings and training sessions, on patrols and other missions, and at ceremonies and social events.
