I recently submitted an application to Google for Nonprofits for St. James Lutheran Church, which was founded in 1890.  I used the founding date of the church as the "birthday" in the application form.  I was able to set up a Gmail account with no problem.  However, when I tried to sign in to YouTube in order to set up an account there, I received this error message:  
"Sorry, your birth year (1890) is ineligible for a YouTube account."
I submitted a bug report immediately (on May 30th) ---- but I never received any reply.  When I tried to get help via phone at 1-650-253-0000, I was told that YouTube does not offer any customer support and I was referred to this YouTube for Non-Profits group.  Is there someone out there who can help me resolve this problem?  I am launching a new website for St. James soon and I would really like to be able to create a YouTube channel in order to post some video.  PLEASE HELP!
