Communities of Practice
Federal communities of practice provide a space to collaborate and share resources with others across government. From Agile/Lean project management to crowdsourcing and virtual reality, there’s a group for almost everybody.

Max.gov
Max.gov is a government-wide suite of advanced collaboration tools and services to facilitate cross-agency knowledge management. Be sure to check out the sections for surveys, analytics and data.

Affinity Groups
Affinity Groups promote inclusive and diverse work environments. They represent and advocate for innovative changes in our Coast Guard and work with the Coast Guard's Chief Diversity Officer (CG-1), through the Affinity Group Council and the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (CG-127), to communicate their ideas to Coast Guard's Senior Leadership. To learn more, visit the Affinity Group website, contact a group directly, or reach out to contact HQS-DG-lst-CG-127@uscg.mil.
