I'm interested in going for the agile certification through PMI but I don't have the 8 months of direct project experience with a strictly agile team. My experience would qualify as more 'rogue developer' I suspect... Other than getting a new job, does anyone see a way to legitimize non-strictly agile project experience for the agile cert? Saving Changes...
Markus' suggestion is a good one: Seek agile opportunities and gain the experience needed.
As you asked for validating your current experience you should stick to the ACP Handbook which provides you with all info needed on applying for the exam.

Never thought volunteering would give me the experience necessary for the cert. What type of volunteer activities are there that would?! I'm very interested in beginning one ASAP.
In there VRMS System they do offer plenty of various opportunities.
Just define your preferences (like Agile) and you will be offered the fitting opportunity's automatically.

My recommendation is reading and understading the certification handbook (sorry if you did it).Then, any question you have, send an email to PMI customer care becasue they help a lot to people who will certificate (at least, I allways see that as far as I know). Saving Changes...
Just ask your local chapter or head to vrms.pmi.org. Lots of opportunities within the PMI family.
But any kind of yolunteering can help you if you can practice agile approaches - ask local communities, schools, etc. - there is no restriction where your experience comes from as long as you've done it "agile". ;) Saving Changes...

Thank you. To clarify...I am concerned with the experience portion of the prerequisites... Not the education contact hours. We're on the same page here right?

That is because you have to read and understand the handbook. The handbook, as far as I remember, say nothing about your experience has to be in agile environments. By the way, just a comment: in my opinion, this is the only certification where, if you do not have practical experience in agile environemtns, is hard to obtain. But is my opinion only.
[...] 1,500 hours working on agile project teams or with agile methodologies. This requirement is in addition to the 2,000 hours of general project experience. [...]
