We are always looking for new volunteers! In order to volunteer for WUOG, you must be a full-time student at the University of Georgia or a part-time student who has paid the semester student activities fee. No prior experience in radio or journalism is required; WUOG will teach you everything you need to know. Interested? Contact the director of the staff you’d like to join. You can learn more about staff roles below.
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!
