Youth Program Coordinator

$100,000 USD/year ^{Pay is set based on global value, not the local market. Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks}  ($50 USD/hour)

• Facilitating one-hour life-skills workshops for K-8 cohorts focused on public speaking, focus, feedback, and other essential skills, customizing the playbook and creating new sessions when you identify missing elements
• Conducting daily individual and small-group motivation sessions that drive every student to 100% completion of their weekly app goals, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's incentive structures (school currency, leaderboards), and your individual relationship with each student to overcome resistance
• Delivering the Test2Pass (Alpha's mastery-based assessment) for each life skill, and providing coaching to students who do not pass until they achieve mastery
• Adjusting your coaching approach across a broad age spectrum, from kindergarteners who require high energy and physical activity to 8th graders who need direct conversation and accountability
• Serving as the adult who maintains high standards and the adult students trust and want to confide in; warmth creates the foundation for challenge, and challenge demonstrates your belief in their capability

• Delivering instruction at a whiteboard; academic content is housed in the applications, not delivered by you
• Creating curriculum from the ground up; you animate an established playbook with energy and narrative
• Passively monitoring students on computers; motivation in this context is active, individualized, and persistent
• Reducing a weekly target to help a student reach it; when a student falls behind, the solution is increased student effort, not adjusted expectations
• Grading assignments, conducting standardized test preparation, or handling parent outreach; Campus Leads manage parent-facing responsibilities, and the other tasks do not exist in this model

Guarantee that every student in your K-8 cohort achieves their weekly learning targets, demonstrates mastery of each life skill, and finishes the year reporting that they loved you.

• Able to work in-person 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 - relocation assistance provided
• Bachelor's degree in any discipline
• Minimum of 3 years of direct experience working with K-8 students (classroom instruction, coaching, tutoring, camp counseling, or youth program management)
• A concrete example you can articulate of motivating a K-8 student toward a challenging goal: the objective, your actions, and the result
• Comfort with AI delivering instructional content while you concentrate on motivation and life-skills development
• Daily usage of generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
• Legal authorization to work in the US without requiring visa sponsorship (or in Canada for the Toronto campus)

• Background in youth sports coaching, debate, camp leadership, theater, or after-school programming where you held direct responsibility for motivating children toward defined outcomes
• Personal record of significant achievement (academic, athletic, or professional), such that holding others to rigorous standards is a consistent practice, not an adopted stance
• Storytelling ability and stage presence sufficient to engage a room of 12-year-olds for an hour without needing to raise your voice
• Demonstrated success converting disengaged or reluctant students into active, committed participants
