About Us

The Coast Guard Spouses' Association Petaluma (CGSA Petaluma) is a non-profit organization composed of spouses of members who live, work, or train at Coast Guard Training Center Petaluma, Station Point Reyes, Station Bodega Bay, or Coast Guard Cutter SOCKEYE.  Our goal is to actively serve our community of service personnel and their families through charitable and social activities, and to provide educational information in areas of concern to Coast Guard families.
 
​Many of us are far from our families and old friends, so participating in CGSA Petaluma can be a reliable lifeline.  Membership offers a chance to make new friends and participate in fun and meaningful activities.
 
Please visit the 'Membership' tab at the top of this page to learn about the different types of memberships available and to download an application form.
