Remote Youth Mentor $40,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
Imagine a role centered on helping students feel motivated, confident, and engaged—without the burden of lesson planning or grading.
Unbound Academy is creating a fully virtual, tuition-free charter school that reimagines education. We've replaced traditional worksheets with experiential learning and positioned personal development as a core outcome. Students complete their academic work in two concentrated hours using AI-driven platforms. The remainder of the day is invested in immersive, skill-building workshops that cultivate curiosity, resilience, and real-world competencies.
Your job is to maintain momentum and ensure seamless execution. You'll guide students through transitions, support participation in collaborative settings, and step in with encouragement when a student loses focus. You won't deliver instructional content, but you'll be critical to ensuring every session feels effortless and engaging.
If you've guided young people in any capacity—camps, athletics, tutoring, youth initiatives—and you're prepared to help school become meaningful, personal, and energizing, this opportunity is worth exploring.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating live virtual workshops by coordinating breakout rooms, managing transitions, and overseeing group dynamics
- Encouraging student involvement and sustaining morale through chat engagement, recognition, and one-on-one touchpoints
- Ensuring students remain focused, motivated, and socially connected throughout their sessions
- Supporting lead instructors with operational tasks that enable smooth, uninterrupted workshop delivery
- Serving as a community builder and reliable presence within student clubs and personal development tracks
What you will NOT be doing
- Instructing academic subjects or providing direct content delivery
- Developing lesson plans or evaluating student work
- Building curriculum or facilitating workshops independently
- Remaining passive—this role demands active involvement and sustained energy
Key responsibilities
Enable dynamic, virtual learning environments by ensuring students remain engaged, well-organized, and motivated across all workshop activities.
Candidate requirements
- Available to work 8am - 5pm Monday through Friday, US Mountain Time (UTC-7)

- Excellent communication abilities and strong proficiency with digital tools and platforms
- Student-centered demeanor with attention to detail and skill in managing smooth transitions
