Youth Development Specialist, Alpha - $100,000/year USD
What You Will Be Doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skill workshops for high school students covering subjects including public speaking, sustained focus, and feedback exchange, followed by evaluating mastery via structured Test2Pass assessments
- Conducting daily individual motivation sessions, leveraging Coachbot data to engage with students, diagnose learning app obstacles, and guide them through points of resistance
- Preparing by reviewing curriculum materials and lesson structures prior to sessions, then adjusting facilitation approach according to group dynamics
What You Won’t Be Doing
- Delivering academic instruction. Mathematics, literacy, and all content subjects are software-driven.
- Overseeing school operations or supervising staff. No budget responsibilities, no recruitment duties, no administrative meetings—your complete attention remains on your student cohort.
- Enforcing discipline through conventional authority structures. No detention assignments, no suspensions, no appeals to positional power. You cultivate a respectful, energized atmosphere using reasoning and positive reinforcement.
