Help Wanted

There are often times when the Coast Guard needs outside help on projects. Some of these are software and web related, others are simple assistance requests. These are opportunities for the Auxiliary to help the Coast Guard in ways that are perhaps not the traditional missions of the Auxiliary.

Most of these are open to any Auxiliarist with the proper skills. If you are not yet a member of the Auxiliary and any of these are of interest to you, consider joining us so that you can help us in our primary mission of assisting the Coast Guard.

This list will be updated from time to time. Please click the links below for more information about these projects.
