Youth Mentor, Alpha - $100,000/year USD

About the role

This role is not about teaching. It is about motivation. The most meaningful way to support a student who reached 99% of their target is to refuse to accept it as complete. If that principle troubles you, this is not your role. If it energizes you—because maintaining that standard is how you communicate belief in a student's capability—then continue reading.

Responsibilities

• Facilitating one-hour life-skills workshops for K-8 groups covering public speaking, focus, feedback, and other transferable competencies, modifying existing frameworks and creating new sessions when you identify needs
• Conducting daily one-on-one and small-group coaching sessions that drive every student toward 100% completion of weekly app objectives, leveraging Coachbot data, Alpha's reward structures (campus currency, performance rankings), and individual relationships to overcome reluctance
• Delivering the Test2Pass (Alpha's competency-based evaluation) for each life skill, and continuing to coach students through retakes until mastery is achieved
• Tailoring your approach across a broad developmental spectrum, from kindergarteners requiring high engagement and physical activity to eighth graders needing candid conversations and personal accountability
• Serving as the adult who maintains standards and the adult students trust; building rapport earns you the credibility to challenge, and that challenge signals your confidence in their potential

• Prepared to work on-site at an Alpha campus in Scottsdale (Phoenix), AZ; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; Austin, TX; Brownsville, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX (Central, South, or The Woodlands); Park City, UT – support for relocation is available
• Bachelor's degree in any discipline
• Minimum of 3 years of direct experience working with K-8 students (including classroom instruction, athletic coaching, tutoring, camp counseling, or youth program management)
• A concrete example you can articulate of guiding a K-8 student toward a challenging objective: the objective itself, your actions, and the result
• Comfort with AI systems managing instructional delivery while you concentrate on motivation and life-skills development
• Regular use of generative AI platforms (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
