When you join the Coast Guard Auxiliary, you could find yourself on patrol saving lives and property, assisting in marine safety and environmental protection, radio watch standing, educating the public in boating safety and much more. That’s what our members do. We don’t just train. We train and perform.

Since 1939 the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary has safeguarded our Nation’s maritime interests in the heartland, in the ports, at sea, and around the globe. Members from all walks of life bring their training and experience as a member of the uniformed volunteer component of the United States Coast Guard.

Our main goal is recreational boating safety and education, while acting as a force multiplier in support of Coast Guard authorized missions.

Membership: Who may become a member of the USCG Auxiliary? Anyone who is a U.S. citizen, is at least 17 years of age, and who has no criminal record.

There are no age limits or standard physical requirements necessary to join the Auxiliary. No matter how old you are, or whatever your physical abilities or challenges may be, there are lots of areas where you can train, learn, and qualify to help boaters in your community, support the Coast Guard, and serve the Nation.
