Recreational Boating Safety (VSC) Vessel Safety Checks
One of the Auxiliary’s primary missions is recreational boating safety. This mission is accomplished by qualified members delivering Public Safety Boating Education and Training classes, providing voluntary Vessel Safety Checks to boaters, visiting with and educating local marine related industries, and by general outreach to the boating public through boat shows and other public venues and events.
Operations and Marine Safety
For those interested in boating, the Auxiliary offers a rigorous level of hands on training and qualification as boat-crew and coxswain. Qualified Auxiliarists perform regular safety patrol missions in their local area. They support local boating activities on the water such as regattas, fireworks & fleet visits. In addition, the Auxiliary works side by side with their active duty USCG counterparts in many other mission areas, including Environmental Protection, Commercial Vessel Safety Inspections, Port Security, and Planning, Auxiliarists receive training virtually identical to that of their active duty and reserve counterparts.
Mission Support
The Auxiliary needs people with leadership, administrative and technical skills (such as web site design, computer server administration, graphic design, photography, videography, communications, public relations/public affairs, instruction and instructional design, and personnel services) to support those Auxiliarists involved in the recreational boating safety and operations & marine safety missions.
