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 covering public speaking, focus, feedback, and other foundational skills, customizing the framework and creating new sessions when you identify missing elements
• Conducting daily individual and small-group motivation sessions that drive every student to complete 100% of their weekly app goals, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's incentive structures (school currency, leaderboards), and your personal connection 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 mastery is achieved
• Adjusting your coaching approach across a broad age spectrum, from kindergarteners requiring high energy and physical activity to 8th graders needing direct conversations and accountability
• Serving as the adult who maintains standards and the adult students seek out; warmth creates the foundation for pushing, and pushing demonstrates your confidence in their ability to succeed

• Delivering whiteboard lectures; academic content is handled by the applications, not by you
• Building curriculum from the ground up; you animate an established framework with energy and narrative
• Passively monitoring students at computers; motivation in this model is active, individualized, and persistent
• Reducing a weekly target to help a student reach it; when a student falls behind, the solution involves supporting the student, not adjusting the goal
• Evaluating homework, conducting standardized test preparation, or handling parent communications; Campus Leads manage parent-facing responsibilities, and the other tasks do not exist in this environment

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

• Able to work in-person at an Alpha campus in Denver, CO; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; Austin, TX; Brownsville, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX (Central, South, or The Woodlands); Park City, UT; or Toronto, Canada (relocation assistance provided)
• Bachelor's degree in any field
• Minimum 3 years of direct experience working with K-8 students (classroom teaching, coaching, tutoring, camp counseling, or youth program leadership)
• A concrete example you can articulate of motivating a K-8 student toward a challenging goal: the objective, your actions, and the result
• Comfort allowing AI to manage instructional content while you concentrate on motivation and life-skills coaching
• Regular use of generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
• Legal authorization to work in the US without visa sponsorship (or in Canada for the Toronto campus)

• Background in youth sports coaching, debate, camp leadership, theater, or after-school programs where you held direct responsibility for motivating children toward defined objectives
• History of exceptional personal achievement (academic, athletic, or professional), reflecting a consistent pattern of maintaining high standards rather than adopting them situationally
• 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 resistant students into active, participating learners
