Youth Coach

$120,000 USD/year ^{Pay is set based on global value, not the local market. Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks}  ($60 USD/hour)

• Facilitating one-hour life-skills workshops for K-8 cohorts covering public speaking, focus, feedback exchange, and other transferable skills, modifying the existing playbook and creating new sessions when you identify a need
• Conducting daily 1:1 and small-group coaching sessions that drive every student toward their weekly app targets, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's motivational systems (school currency, leaderboards), and your individual rapport with each student to overcome resistance
• Managing the Test2Pass (Alpha's mastery-based evaluation) for each life skill, and continuing to coach students who do not achieve mastery until they succeed
• Adjusting your coaching approach across a broad age spectrum, from kindergarteners requiring high energy and physical activity to 8th graders needing direct conversation and accountability
• Analyzing weekly cohort performance data in Coachbot, pinpointing students who are falling behind, and modifying your coaching tactics for the next week based on the data

• Standing at a whiteboard delivering lessons; academic content is embedded in the apps, not delivered by you
• Creating a complete curriculum from scratch; you begin with an established playbook and personalize it with your own style and narrative skills
• Passively monitoring students on computers; motivation in this role is active, individualized, and persistent
• Working through bureaucratic processes to secure resources for students in need; if a student requires additional coaching time, you decide and implement the same day
• Grading assignments, administering standardized test preparation, or handling parent communications; Campus Leads manage parent interactions, and the other tasks do not exist in this model

Make certain every student in your K-8 cohort achieves their weekly learning targets, masters each life skill, and finishes the year saying they loved working with you.

• Able to work on-site at an Alpha campus in Beverly Hills, CA; La Jolla (San Diego), CA; Palo Alto, CA; Piedmont, CA; South Bay (LA), CA; Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, FL; Fort Lauderdale, FL; Miami, FL; Miami Beach, FL; Palm Beach Gardens, FL; Chicago, IL; Raleigh, NC; Portland, OR; or Seattle, WA (relocation assistance available)
• Bachelor's degree in any discipline
• Minimum 3 years of direct experience working with K-8 students (teaching, coaching, tutoring, camp counseling, or youth program leadership)
• A concrete example you can share of motivating a K-8 student toward a challenging goal: the objective, your actions, and the result
• Comfortable allowing AI to manage instructional content while you concentrate on motivation and life-skills coaching
• Authorized to work in the US without requiring visa sponsorship

• Background in youth sports coaching, debate, camp leadership, theater, or after-school programs where you held direct responsibility for motivating children toward measurable objectives
• History of personal high performance (academic, athletic, or professional), demonstrating that holding others to demanding standards is a natural trait, not an adopted stance
• Narrative ability and stage presence capable of engaging a room of 12-year-olds for an hour without needing to raise your voice
• Demonstrated success converting disengaged or reluctant students into active, motivated participants
