1. PURPOSE. This Instruction establishes policy and procedures for the Coast Guard Nonpay
Compensation Program Internship Program. The purpose of this program is to provide a positive
learning environment for students pursuing degrees in the field of resale, recreation, merchandising,
or other related fields in the operation of Coast Guard nonpay compensation programs of the Coast
Guard Exchange System (CGX), Coast Guard Morale, Well-Being, and Recreation (MWR) program,
Cadet Activities, and Cadet Athletics. Coast Guard nonpay compensation programs benefit from this
program by gaining students recently educated in the disciplines associated with these programs,
while the students benefit from opportunity to gain broad experience while earning credit toward
their degrees in related fields of study. Internships offered through Paragraph 15 of this Instruction
must be educational for the student, benefit the intern, and not displace regular employees. This
Instruction provides policy guidance in those areas where people are employees in NAF positions
and where student interns have agreed to provide in-kind services under the Coast Guard nonpay
compensation program Payment-In-Kind Internship.
2. ACTION. All Coast Guard unit commanders, commanding officers, officer-in-charge,
deputy/assistant commandants, and chiefs of headquarters staff elements shall comply with the
provisions of this Instruction. Internet release authorized.
3. DIRECTIVES AFFECTED. Coast Guard Nonpay Compensation Program Internship Program,
COMDTINST 1780.2B, is cancelled.
