Volunteers at WUOG each chose one or more staffs to participate on. Each staff plays a vital role in station operation and is important in its own capacity. New volunteers may choose which staff to begin working for from the list below. Committed WUOG volunteers can become eligible to participate in DJ Training and eventually host their own show!
