Boat owners may join and offer their boats as Operational Facilities. Professional health care personnel and qualified clergy also help to augment the Coast Guard missions and are in high demand. Personal expenses involve uniforms and local travel. Most operational activities are conducted under U.S. Coast Guard issued orders (either reimbursable or non-reimbursable). Fellowship is also a key cornerstone with fun events throughout the year. Military veterans - use your knowledge to help with CG missions! Must be at least 17 YOA to join and a U.S. citizen. A background check is conducted on applicants. No age limit. We are a diversified organization dedicated to supporting the U.S. Coast Guard and its missions. Contact us for more information.
