Outreach Programs

• COMPASS program deploys Active Duty, Reserve, Civilian, and Auxiliarists into their communities to increase America's Understanding and Awareness of the Coast Guard.
• Partnership in Education (PIE) program enhances educational opportunities and career awareness for the nation’s youth through direct participation in education related programs. PIE is an excellent way to access young audiences of all backgrounds, show the Coast Guard colors, and contribute to the community in your area.
• Sea Partners is a proactive education and outreach program that targets children, the general public, and the maritime community. It encourages individuals to take responsibility for protection of the marine environment.
• First Book is a unique partnership between the US Coast Guard and First Book - a national, private, non-profit organization whose mission is to give disadvantaged children the opportunity to read and own their first books. Their primary goal is to work with existing literacy and mentoring programs to distribute new books to children, who for economic or other reasons have little access to books.
