Folks,

I have been trying to apply for one the UNV Youth Volunteer positions sponsored by Irish Aid. You have to do it through the UNV roster and place a certain code in the "Special Recruitment" part. When I try to enter one it says I am above the upper age limit.

I've googled to try and find out what this could be but only see no upper age limit. The minimum age is 25. I am 29, so if there is an upper one, I would have thought it would be 30+

Anyone able to shed any light on this for me. Feeling very old right now. :mad:

I'm pretty sure the minimum age of 25 applies to normal UN Volunteers. I think the Youth Volunteer programme is for people between the ages of 21 and 25 with 2 years experience.
