Get Involved

There are many different ways you can get involved to help give back to our community. We have so many different ways people can be involved, support where it's most needed and give thanks in ways that can help our station continue to grow and thrive!

Volunteer with us

While many volunteer crew members come from a marine background, this is not a requirement.

Thanks to our professional training plans, non-mariners can quickly become highly skilled crew members with time and commitment in a supportive environment that values teamwork.

Not sure if you want to be out on the water?

In addition to operational volunteers, supporting members are critical to the success of our stations. We also welcome volunteers who have an interest in:

Boating safety advocacy
Vessel maintenance and equipment management
Community fundraising and attending special events
Media support
