Youth Counselor   $100,000 USD/year

Description

LOCATION NOTE: This role requires in-person presence at our Brownsville, Texas campus. Relocation support is provided.

Are you driven to challenge conventional approaches? Do you seek an opportunity that combines meaningful challenge, adventure, and the ability to transform young lives? Alpha Schools represents a new model in education that unlocks boundless potential—and we invite you to join our pioneering work at the Brownsville campus.

Alpha is not a traditional school; it is a transformation in learning. Lectures, fixed classroom structures, and standardized assessments have no place here. Instead, picture an environment where students learn twice as much in half the time, supported by you—a dynamic, motivating guide—who transforms education into an engaging pursuit of mastery and essential life competencies. A notable detail: we are located next to SpaceX. The frontier of learning meets the frontier of space innovation.

Alpha students do more than learn. They excel academically through adaptive technology and mastery-driven approaches, while simultaneously building vital life skills including public speaking, leadership, and critical problem-solving. We seek someone who can ignite the drive that pushes students to embrace challenges and unlock their full potential.

Apply if you meet these criteria:

  • You are prepared to help reshape the possibilities of education.
  • You have experience motivating, inspiring, or mentoring children in non-conventional environments (such as camp counselor, sports coach, etc.).
  • You embody the qualities of a role model with infectious passion for excellence.

Why Alpha?

  • An extraordinary opportunity: More than employment—this is a chance to contribute to an educational revolution within a distinctive, dynamic community.
  • Meaningful impact: Shape a new generation of learners who excel both academically and emotionally.
  • Competitive compensation: Pursuing meaningful work should not require financial sacrifice.
  • Professional development: We invest in your growth through coaching, training, and leadership advancement.
  • A cohesive, purpose-driven team: Become part of a community of accomplished professionals dedicated to reimagining education.

This represents your opportunity to build the future of learning—and advance your career.

What you will be doing

  • Facilitating Workshops: Create and deliver workshops that prompt students to think, "I never knew I was capable of this!" Covering topics from public speaking to entrepreneurship, you will teach practical skills that motivate.
  • Conducting daily Motivation Sessions: Begin each day by helping students establish meaningful goals and develop the mindset to achieve them.
  • Driving student achievement: Apply proven frameworks to ensure every student reaches ambitious academic and personal objectives.
  • Developing personalized motivational approaches: Collaborate with students to create reward systems and incentives that foster intrinsic excellence.

What you will NOT be doing

  • Conventional instruction: Traditional chalkboards and lectures are absent here. At Alpha, students utilize advanced applications to master core content—your function is to guide, inspire, and enhance their educational experience.
  • Administering discipline: We reject punitive approaches. Instead, you will employ reasoning and positive reinforcement to build a respectful, stimulating environment.

Candidate requirements

  • Willingness to work in person in Brownsville, TX. Relocation assistance is available.
  • Bachelor's degree in any subject.
  • Experience employing a growth mindset to achieve a high level of performance
  • High level of energy and a desire to boost others up.
  • A desire to connect, inspire, and motivate K-8th grade students.
  • Legal right to work in the US without visa sponsorship.
