Auxiliarists assist the Coast Guard in non-law enforcement programs such as public education, vessel safety checks, safety patrols, search and rescue, maritime security and environmental protection and Coast Guard Academy introduction programs for youth. Auxiliarists volunteer more than 2 million hours annually.

For members we provide more advanced training in such topics as seamanship, navigation, communications, weather, boat crew, coxswain, etc. This provides the skills necessary to serve and enjoy the fellowship of the Auxiliary.
