Our District is the Birthplace of the U.S. Coast Guard and its Auxiliary. Members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary serve alongside our Active Duty, Reserve components to carry on that Proud Tradition and Worthy Mission. We are the uniformed, all-volunteer component of the United States Coast Guard with over 1,700 members who daily support the Coast Guard in all its non-military, and non-law-enforcement missions
Auxiliary members conduct safety patrols on local waterways, assist in Search and Rescue, verify aids to navigation, teach boating safety classes, conduct free vessel safety checks for the public, provide boating safety literature to dealers, as well as many other activities related to recreational boating safety.
We do more than recreational boating safety; we regularly serve alongside our active-duty shipmates serving as communications watchstanders, uninspected passenger vessel examiners, training resources for air and sea operations, numerous duties related to environmental protection and homeland security, and even as culinary assistants! In fact, there are nearly two dozen "qualifications" open to Auxiliarists willing to put in the time and training. We are a force multiplier for the Coast Guard!
