Is there a age requirement for veterans
The website says this: WCC member positions are limited to 18-25 year olds. Age restrictions are based on Legislative mandate. Limited exceptions may be made for veterans, leadership positions, and participants with a sensory or mental disability.
Also, I’d submit your application or any questions directly to the website. We don’t have anything to do with the application process. Thanks.
