You can make your opportunity in the USCG Auxiliary. That’s right, the Auxiliary can provide you the opportunity to both learn new skills and provide public service right where you live! All they ask is that you volunteer. All you need to do is ask.
Some positions may require outside education and licensure. Coast Guard and/or Auxiliary training may take some time, and some of the qualifications you may earn require additional maintenance time, but with those exceptions there is no minimum number of hours you need to commit.
