Camp Counselor   $100,000 USD/year

Description

LOCATION NOTE: This role is in-person at our Brownsville, Texas campus. Relocation support is provided.

Are you someone who thrives when challenging conventional approaches? Are you seeking a role that combines challenge, adventure, and the ability to transform lives? Alpha Schools is where educational innovation converges with boundless opportunity—and we're looking for you to join our pioneering work at the Brownsville campus.

Alpha is not a traditional school; it's a transformation in learning. Leave behind lectures, fixed classrooms, and standardized testing. Picture an environment where children learn twice as fast while achieving twice the results, supported by you—a dynamic, motivating leader—who transforms education into an exciting journey toward mastery and essential life competencies. And here's a bonus: SpaceX is our neighbor. The cutting edge of education meets the cutting edge of space innovation.

Alpha students don't merely learn. They excel academically through adaptive technology and mastery-driven approaches, while simultaneously building vital life skills including public speaking, leadership, and critical problem-solving. We need someone who can ignite the drive that pushes students to embrace challenges and unlock their full capabilities.

Please apply if…

  • You're prepared to help transform what education can become.
  • You have experience inspiring, motivating, or coaching children in unconventional environments (camp counselor, sports coach, etc.).
  • You're a mentor with infectious passion for achievement.

Why Alpha?

  • An extraordinary adventure: This is more than employment—it's a chance to participate in an educational transformation within a distinctive, dynamic community.
  • Meaningful impact: Contribute to developing a new generation of students who excel both academically and personally.
  • Competitive compensation: Pursue meaningful work without financial sacrifice.
  • Professional development: We invest in your growth through coaching, training, and advancement opportunities.
  • A close-knit, purpose-driven team: Become part of a community of dedicated professionals committed to reshaping education.

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

What you will be doing

  • Leading Workshops: Create and deliver workshops that inspire students to discover new capabilities. From public speaking to entrepreneurship, you'll deliver practical skills that motivate action.
  • Facilitating daily Motivation Sessions: Begin each day by helping students establish meaningful goals and develop the mindset to achieve them.
  • Driving student achievement: Apply proven frameworks to ensure every student reaches ambitious academic and personal milestones.
  • Developing personalized motivational approaches: Collaborate with students to create rewards and incentives that foster intrinsic excellence.

What you will NOT be doing

  • Conventional instruction: Set aside chalkboards and lectures. At Alpha, students utilize advanced applications to master core content—your responsibility is to mentor, motivate, and enhance their educational experience.
  • Implementing punishment: We reject punitive approaches. Instead, you'll employ reasoning and positive reinforcement to build a respectful, dynamic learning environment.

Candidate requirements

  • Willingness to work in person in Brownsville, TX. Relocation support is provided.
  • Bachelor's degree in any subject.
  • Experience applying a growth mindset to achieve high performance.
  • High energy level and commitment to uplifting others.
