Youth Counselor   $100,000 USD/year

Description

LOCATION NOTE: This is an in-person position at our Brownsville, Texas campus. We offer relocation assistance.

Are you someone who excels at challenging conventional approaches? Do you seek a role that combines meaningful challenge, adventure, and the ability to transform young lives? At Alpha Schools, educational innovation converges with unlimited opportunity—and we're looking for you to join our pioneering work at the Brownsville campus.

Alpha represents more than a school; it's a transformation in learning. Move beyond traditional lectures, fixed classroom structures, and standardized assessments. Picture an environment where students learn twice as much in half the time, with your guidance—as an energetic, inspiring leader—helping transform education into an exciting journey toward mastery and essential life skills. Additionally, we're located next to SpaceX. The cutting edge of education meets the cutting edge of space innovation.

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

Consider applying if…

  • You're prepared to help reshape the possibilities of education.
  • You have experience motivating, inspiring, or mentoring children in non-traditional environments (camp counselor, athletic coach, etc.).
  • You're a role model with infectious enthusiasm for achieving excellence.

Why Alpha?

  • An exceptional adventure: This role transcends a typical job—it's a chance to join an educational revolution in a distinctive, dynamic community.
  • Profound impact: Shape a new generation of learners who excel both academically and emotionally.
  • Competitive compensation: You shouldn't sacrifice earnings to pursue meaningful work.
  • Development opportunities: We invest in your growth through coaching, training, and pathways to leadership.
  • A close-knit, mission-focused team: Become part of a community of driven individuals who share a vision for reimagining education.

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

What you will be doing

  • Facilitating Workshops: Create and deliver workshops that inspire students to think, "I didn't realize I was capable of this!" From public speaking to entrepreneurship, you'll teach practical skills that motivate.
  • Conducting daily Motivation Sessions: Begin each day by helping students establish ambitious goals and cultivate 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 rewards and incentives that encourage self-motivated excellence.

What you will NOT be doing

  • Traditional teaching: Leave behind chalkboards and lectures. At Alpha, students utilize advanced apps to master core subjects—your role is to mentor, inspire, and enhance their learning experience.
  • Disciplining: We reject punitive approaches. Instead, you'll apply logic and positive reinforcement to foster a respectful, engaging atmosphere.

Candidate requirements

  • Willingness to work in person in Brownsville, TX. We provide relocation assistance.
  • Bachelor's degree in any subject.
  • Experience applying a growth mindset to achieve a high level of performance
  • High energy level and a commitment to uplifting others.
