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 24 is one of the premier components of the USCG Auxiliary in the Chicagoland 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.
