Youth Program Director

$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 sessions for K-8 groups covering public speaking, concentration, feedback dynamics, and other transferable competencies—customizing existing frameworks and developing new material when you identify needs
• Conducting daily individual and small-group coaching conversations that drive every student to 100% completion of weekly app objectives, leveraging Coachbot performance data, Alpha's motivational infrastructure (school currency, ranking systems), and your personal rapport with each child to overcome resistance
• Delivering the Test2Pass (Alpha's competency-based evaluation) for each life skill, and continuing to coach students who do not pass on the first attempt until mastery is achieved
• Adjusting your approach across a broad developmental spectrum—from kindergarteners requiring high energy and physical engagement to eighth graders needing candid dialogue and clear accountability
• Serving as both the adult who maintains high expectations and the adult students trust and seek out; warmth creates the foundation for challenge, and challenge signals your confidence in their potential

• Delivering instruction at a whiteboard; content mastery occurs through the applications, not through direct teaching
• Creating curriculum materials from the ground up; you animate an established framework with presence and narrative skill
• Passively monitoring students on devices; motivation in this context is hands-on, individualized, and persistent
• Reducing a weekly target to enable a student to reach it; when a student falls behind, the solution is supporting the student, not adjusting the goal
• Evaluating assignments, conducting standardized test preparation, or handling family communications; Campus Leads manage parent relations, and the other tasks are not part of this model

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

• Available 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 (teaching, coaching, tutoring, camp programs, or youth leadership roles)
• A concrete example you can articulate of guiding a K-8 student to a challenging goal: the objective, your actions, and the result
• Comfort allowing AI to manage instructional delivery while you concentrate on motivation and life-skills development
• Regular use of generative AI platforms (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
• Authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship (or in Canada for the Toronto location)

• Background in youth sports coaching, debate programs, camp direction, theater, or extracurricular initiatives where you held direct accountability for motivating children toward defined outcomes
• Demonstrated record of personal excellence (academic, athletic, or professional) such that maintaining high standards for others reflects consistent values, not affectation
• Narrative ability and command of a room sufficient to engage a group of 12-year-olds for an hour without needing to raise your voice
• History of converting disengaged or resistant students into committed participants
