The Illinois Valley Power Squadron is primarily an educational organization.
Our mission is to provide the boating public with information that will allow
them to safely operate their boats and personal watercraft. We provide
that information through Boating Courses scheduled several times each year.
We also actively participate in the Coast Guards' Vessel Safety Check program,
where certified Vessel Safety Examiners inspect watercraft to insure they comply
with all federal and state regulations. We are also a social organization;
holding several events, cruises, and dinners throughout the year. Our
members regularly boat on the Illinois River, the Great Lakes, and other lakes
and rivers throughout the country Chartered in 1973, and located in Central Illinois (Peoria), the IVPS is one of the 17 Squadrons in District 20. Our district includes all of central and northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin, and northwestern Indiana. Nationally, there are more than 450 Squadrons affiliated with the United States Power Squadron® grouped into more that 30 districts.
