About The C.G.A. Parents Association

A brief description of who & what we are...

Greetings from the Webmasters!

Thank you for stopping by. As you are likely to be interested in the well-being of the Corp or Cadets at the US Coast Guard Academy, we hope you will become active in our organization. Please read through the pages of this site and feel free to contact one of the many member volunteers who would like to welcome you to the National Parents Association.

We are "a non-profit organization which exists for the sole purpose of supporting the US Coast Guard Academy and its Corps of Cadets. It seeks to expand public understanding and appreciation of the Academy; to encourage well-qualified young men and women to apply for appointments as Cadets; to assist with the orientation of new cadets and their parents; to promote communication between parents, cadets and the Academy Administration; and to make known to its membership the opportunities for participating in Academy and support projects offered by the United States Coast Guard Academy Alumni Association."

A complete description of the Association and how we operate may be found in our Constitution & By-Laws. If you haven't the time to go into that much detail, a great summary was provided by one of our past Presidents - Bob Pray (Capt, USCG - Ret.). Please read his message about our Assocation. After reviewing this site we hope you will join us in supporting the USCG Academy and the Corps. of Cadets and become a member of our Association!

We will be working on many important projects in the coming year. We would enjoy your friendship, support, and commraderie in helping us help the Academy and the Corps of Cadets.
