Hello and Welcome to District 7, United States Coast Guard Auxiliary

Judith Hudson and I welcome your visit to our District 7 website, and urge you to explore this electronic resource for information on how to join our organization or to find specific guidance and resources for seasoned members.

District 7 is the largest of our 16 Coast Guard Districts, and D7 Auxiliary is dedicated to support active duty Coast Guard in all its missions in this area except direct law enforcement. We are the uniformed volunteer arm of the United States Coast Guard.

While our primary role is to provide Recreational Boating Safety services to the boating public, many of our members serve by filling support roles on Coast Guard facilities throughout the Seventh District. Our many opportunities include communication watchstanding, public affairs services, maritime surface patrols, air operations, public education, Marine Safety, language interpreters, and more but there are many additional opportunities for service available to interested members. We consider ourselves to be America’s Volunteer Lifesavers. If you think this service could be of interest to you, look for the "Join the Auxiliary" link at the top of the page, under "Public Info". Click this and learn more about how to join us in service to the Coast Guard and the boating public. I look forward to meeting you soon should you decide to join us.
