We are the civilian, all-volunteer arm of the United States Coast Guard. With nearly 30,000 members, the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary actively provides safety patrols on area waterways and regularly meets with the boating public at marinas and in classrooms. We also directly assist the U.S. Coast Guard in non-law enforcement programs such as search and rescue, and marine environmental protection.
Flotilla 6-11 is one of the premier components of the USCG Auxiliary in the Miami area and we are seeking many volunteers to assist in a wide range of programs such as Marine Safety Patrols, Boater Education, Marine Wildlife Preservation, and Port Security.
If you are looking for a volunteer organization that offers you valuable training and experience while giving you the opportunity to give back to your country, the US Coast Guard Auxiliary is the perfect organization for you!
We encourage you to contact us to learn more about the exciting volunteer opportunities for you with the USCG Auxiliary. Please visit
