membership is also open to all or former members of any uniformed
services and their service components.
Members are
people who have an interest in serving the boating community, and their
country through the various
Missions of the Auxiliary.
What are the benefits of membership?
Service to
the country and community:
Particularly
since the tragic events of September 11th 2001, Auxiliary personnel
have been of great help to the Coast Guard by taking care of many of
the non-military/non-law enforcement missions of the Coast Guard.
This helps free the Coast Guard to focus more assets on Homeland
Security and anti-terrorist activities in addition to their other
law enforcement and military missions.
Free
Training:
As a member
of the Auxiliary, you have direct access to all Auxiliary Public
Education training programs in addition to many U.S. Coast Guard
training programs not offered to the general public.
Fellowship:
This is the
heart of the Auxiliary. Our membership is a wonderful group of
Friends, which have a similar goal. We have a great time promoting
boating safety. We want to keep our pristine waters safe and fun
for everyone, including ourselves. We enjoy our social activities
but the Auxiliary is not a social organization. Rather we are a
SERVICE ORGANIZATION providing needed support to the Coast Guard and
the Boating Public. See

Auxiliary Membership Benefits.
You are bound
to find a place where your skills, experience, and interests can be of
service!
