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 playbook and creating new sessions when you identify missing elements
• Conducting daily individual and small-group motivation sessions that drive every student to 100% completion of their weekly app goals, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's incentive structures (school currency, leaderboards), and your individual relationship with each child to overcome resistance
• Administering 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 choose to confide in; warmth creates the trust needed to push, and pushing demonstrates your belief in their potential

• Delivering whiteboard lectures; academic content is embedded in the apps, not delivered by you
• Creating curriculum from the ground up; you animate a proven playbook through 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 child falls behind, the solution is supporting the child, not adjusting the goal
• Grading assignments, conducting standardized test preparation, or handling parent communications; Campus Leads manage parent-facing responsibilities, and the other tasks do not exist in this model

Ensure 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 on-site 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 available
• Bachelor's degree in any field
• Minimum of 3 years of direct experience working with K-8 students (classroom instruction, coaching, tutoring, camp counseling, or youth program management)
• A concrete example you can articulate of motivating a K-8 student toward a challenging goal: the objective, your actions, and the result
• Openness to allowing AI to manage instructional content while you concentrate on motivation and life-skills coaching
• Daily usage of generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
• Legal authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship (or in Canada for the Toronto campus)

• Background in youth sports coaching, debate, camp leadership, drama, or after-school programs where you held direct responsibility for motivating children toward defined objectives
• Personal record of high achievement (academic, athletic, or professional), demonstrating that holding others to rigorous standards is a consistent practice, not an adopted stance
• Storytelling ability and stage presence sufficient to engage a room of 12-year-olds for an hour without needing to raise your voice
• Proven ability to transform disengaged or reluctant students into engaged contributors
