MAG was established in 1992 as a community relations program to be organized and run by the Brigade of Midshipmen, faculty and staff, and offers a variety of educational, environmental and social service volunteer projects coordinated with community partners from the Annapolis, Baltimore and D.C. areas. MAG aims to provide reliable, diligent, and enthusiastic volunteers willing to offer their time, talent, energy and endeavors to better prepare midshipmen for future service by encouraging peer leadership, teamwork, character development, morale, selflessness and good will towards others.
