Welcome to the Upstate New York Chapter of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy Parent Association.

All parents of cadets attending the Coast Guard Academy are eligible and encouraged to join the Parents Association. Parents of alumni are also encouraged to continue on as active members. The Parents Association exists to support the Corps of Cadets, the Coast Guard Academy and the parents of all cadets. We also actively support and encourage applicants, prospective cadets, and their parents as they navigate their way through the Admissions process and make the difficult choices involved in the collegiate selection process.

As the Upstate New York Chapter, we focus on the Cadets, Parents, and Alumni from the surrounding areas of Upstate New York.
