Online Youth Mentor $40,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
This position is designed for individuals who excel at maintaining student energy, engagement, and enthusiasm—without the burden of lesson planning, grading, or academic instruction.
Unbound Academy operates a fully virtual, tuition-free charter school where students accelerate through academic content using AI-powered tools, then participate in live, interactive workshops centered on life skills, teamwork, and personal growth. Your role is to ensure these sessions feel seamless and motivating for every student.
You will serve as the operational backbone of the student experience. You'll oversee transitions between activities, facilitate small group dynamics, sustain engagement levels, and provide individualized support when students need redirection or encouragement. Content delivery is not your responsibility—but the quality of the student experience depends directly on your involvement.
If you have a background leading youth in camps, extracurricular programs, athletics, tutoring environments, or community organizations—and the idea of a hybrid role combining virtual facilitation with in-person collaboration appeals to you—this is an opportunity to make school feel connected and personal once more.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating live virtual workshops by coordinating breakout rooms, managing pacing, and ensuring smooth transitions between activities
- Driving participation through direct chat engagement, verbal encouragement, individual check-ins, and positive reinforcement
- Maintaining student confidence, connection, and enthusiasm across the full learning day
- Providing operational support to lead educators by managing session logistics and behind-the-scenes coordination
- Serving as a reliable, familiar presence within student clubs and life-skills programming
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering academic instruction or teaching subject-area content
- Developing lesson plans, evaluating student work, or conducting academic assessments
- Building curriculum or facilitating workshops without direct support
- Adopting a passive or observational stance—this role requires consistent, active engagement
Key responsibilities
Ensure dynamic, virtual learning environments by keeping students engaged, organized, and motivated throughout every workshop session.
Candidate requirements
- Available to begin employment on August 1, 2026
- Minimum of 3 years of experience in mentoring, coaching, tutoring, or leading youth populations
- Educational history within U.S., Canadian, or U.K. school systems (K–16); schooling must have occurred in one of these countries
- Excellent communication abilities and proficiency using digital collaboration tools
- Student-centered presence with strong organizational skills and the ability to manage smooth activity transitions
- Able to commit to full-time hours, Monday–Friday, 8:00am–5:00pm U.S. Mountain Time (UTC-7)
- Willing to perform duties in a hybrid capacity in Arizona.
