Youth Coach   $120,000 USD/year

Description

  • $120,000 annual W2 compensation, distributed weekly, with medical, dental, and vision coverage starting day one
  • On-site position at an Alpha campus located in Bethesda, MD; Boca Raton, FL; Boston, MA; Greenwich, CT; Malibu, CA; Miami, FL; Miami Beach, FL; Palm Beach, FL; San Francisco, CA; or Santa Barbara, CA (relocation assistance available).

Traditional schools set expectations for students. You'll guide them to surpass their own limits.

Each student possesses untapped potential beyond what they currently recognize. Many adults reduce expectations when students face difficulty. Your approach is the reverse. You understand that genuine confidence doesn't emerge from empty compliments. It develops when someone achieves what they previously considered beyond their reach. If you've consistently refused to allow a student, player, camper, or mentee to give up on themselves, this work will resonate with you.

Alpha has redesigned education around one core premise: AI excels at academic delivery, while exceptional people excel at transformation. Students advance through core curriculum via adaptive AI-driven learning platforms. Your role centers on cultivating what technology cannot—discipline, grit, articulate communication, personal accountability, concentration, and the conviction that worthwhile pursuits require effort. Your days won't involve lecture preparation or assignment grading. Instead, you'll coach students through obstacles, acknowledge meaningful growth, and guide them toward achievements they once deemed unattainable.

Approximately 60% of your time involves facilitating dynamic, one-hour life skills sessions covering subjects such as public presentation, concentration techniques, leadership principles, and constructive feedback exchange. Roughly 30% is dedicated to individual or small-group coaching, leveraging Coachbot analytics to determine which students require support, accountability, or modified strategies. The final 10% encompasses data analysis, coaching methodology refinement, and preparation to help students enter the following week stronger. You'll begin with established workshop structures, then enhance and expand them as you identify more effective methods for inspiring young people.

Performance metrics are measurable. A minimum of 90% of your students should reliably meet weekly academic targets, demonstrate proficiency in Alpha's life skills via Test2Pass evaluations, and provide ratings of at least 4 out of 5 for their experience with you. Maintain this benchmark consistently and you'll advance to Lead Guide, mentoring fellow Guides, and ultimately Campus Lead, where you'll influence the culture and outcomes of an entire campus.

This position doesn't suit individuals seeking to lecture from curricula or simply occupy students with busywork. It's designed for coaches, mentors, youth program leaders, performers, tutors, and educators whose success metric is student transformation. Every final candidate completes a full-day coaching session with actual Alpha students before an offer is extended. If that prospect excites you more than a standard interview, we want to hear from you.

What you will be doing

  • Facilitating energetic, one-hour life skills sessions for K-8 students that build communication abilities, resilience, concentration, leadership qualities, and other enduring competencies while steadily enhancing the workshop delivery.
  • Providing one-on-one and small-group coaching informed by Coachbot analytics, customized accountability measures, and Alpha's motivational frameworks to ensure each student reaches challenging weekly objectives.
  • Evaluating life skill proficiency via Test2Pass and delivering focused coaching until each student exhibits true mastery, not merely attendance.
  • Adjusting your coaching approach for elementary through middle school age ranges, recognizing when a kindergartner requires physical activity and positive reinforcement versus when an eighth grader needs straightforward accountability.
  • Reviewing weekly performance metrics to detect trends, eliminate barriers, and consistently elevate results across your entire student group.

What you will NOT be doing

  • Conducting conventional classroom lessons. AI manages academic instruction, freeing you to concentrate on student development.
  • Evaluating assignments, drafting lesson plans, or preparing students for standardized examinations.
  • Supervising students as they work quietly on devices. Each day is dynamic, participatory, and coaching-focused.
  • Seeking permission before intervening with a student in need. You possess the authority to respond immediately and take appropriate action.
  • Handling parent correspondence or administrative documentation. Campus Leads manage family relationships, allowing you to prioritize students.

Key responsibilities

Develop a student cohort that reliably achieves challenging academic objectives, masters critical life competencies, and builds the confidence, perseverance, and personal responsibility necessary for long-term success beyond Alpha.

Candidate requirements

  • Available to work on-site at an Alpha campus in Bethesda, MD; Boca Raton, FL; Boston, MA; Greenwich, CT; Malibu, CA; Miami, FL; Miami Beach, FL; Palm Beach, FL; San Francisco, CA; or Santa Barbara, CA (relocation assistance provided)
  • Bachelor's degree in any field
  • Minimum 3 years of direct experience with K-8 students via teaching, coaching, tutoring, mentoring, camp facilitation, or youth programming
  • Capacity to articulate a concrete instance of inspiring a student to accomplish a challenging objective, detailing your methodology and the result
  • Enthusiastic about allowing AI to manage academic instruction while you concentrate on coaching, motivation, and life skills cultivation
  • Authorized for U.S. employment without need for current or future visa sponsorship

Nice to have

  • Background coaching youth athletics, debate teams, theater productions, camps, after-school initiatives, or other performance-oriented activities
  • Track record of exceptional personal achievement in academics, sports, leadership roles, or another competitive domain
  • Compelling presentation skills and narrative ability that maintain student engagement without depending on raised volume or punitive measures
  • Proven ability transforming unmotivated, resistant, or challenged students into driven, self-assured learners
