Coast Guard Community Relations

The goal of the Coast Guard’s Community Relations is to foster positive relationships within the communities we live and operate. We develop, maintain and improve public understanding and support of the Coast Guard’s missions through interaction with our communities. We support our communities in a variety of ways including partnering with schools, participating in speaking engagements, loaning Coast Guard art to museums, and participating in parades, events and holiday observances. Beyond our local involvement, many national Coast Guard programs give you the opportunity to learn more about who we are and offer us the opportunity to listen to your concerns.

For more information, please contact your local Public Affairs Office or the Community Relations Division.

We want to hear from you! If the Coast Guard is doing something that goes beyond the call of duty, we’d love to hear about it. Contact us and share your story.
