Youth Coach

$120,000 USD/year ^{Pay is set based on global value, not the local market. Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks}  ($60 USD/hour)

• Facilitating one-hour life-skills workshops for K-8 cohorts covering public speaking, focus, feedback skills, and other foundational competencies, customizing the existing playbook and creating new sessions when you identify a need
• Conducting daily 1:1 and small-group sessions to motivate every student toward their weekly app targets, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's incentive structures (school currency, leaderboards), and individual relationships to overcome resistance
• Administering Test2Pass (Alpha's mastery-based life-skill assessments) and coaching students who fall short until they achieve passing results
• Adjusting your coaching approach across a broad age spectrum, from kindergarteners requiring high energy and physical engagement to 8th graders needing candid conversation and accountability
• Analyzing weekly cohort performance data in Coachbot, pinpointing students who are falling behind, and modifying your coaching tactics for the upcoming week based on the insights the data provides

• Teaching content at a whiteboard; academic instruction is delivered through the apps, not by you
• Designing an entire curriculum from scratch; you begin with a tested playbook and personalize it with your own voice and approach
• Monitoring students passively as they use computers; motivation in this role is active, individualized, and persistent
• Waiting for bureaucratic approval to support a struggling student; if a child needs additional coaching time, you decide and execute the same day
• Grading assignments, running standardized test preparation, or handling parent outreach; Campus Leads manage parent communication, and the rest does not exist in this model

Ensure every student in your K-8 cohort achieves their weekly learning targets, masters each life skill, and finishes the year saying they loved you.

• Willing to work on-site at an Alpha campus in Beverly Hills, CA; La Jolla (San Diego), CA; Palo Alto, CA; Piedmont, CA; South Bay (LA), CA; Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, FL; Fort Lauderdale, FL; Miami Beach, FL; Palm Beach Gardens, FL; Chicago, IL; Raleigh, NC; Portland, OR (relocation support provided)
• Bachelor's degree in any field
• At least 3 years of direct experience working with K-8 students (classroom teaching, coaching, tutoring, camp counseling, or youth program leadership)
• A concrete example you can share of motivating a K-8 student to achieve a challenging goal: the goal itself, your actions, and the result
• Comfortable allowing AI to deliver instructional content while you concentrate on motivation and life-skills coaching
• Legal authorization to work in the US without requiring visa sponsorship

• Background in youth sports coaching, debate, camp leadership, theater, or after-school programs where you held direct responsibility for motivating children toward measurable outcomes
• Personal track record of high achievement (academic, athletic, or professional) that makes holding others to demanding standards natural, not performative
• Storytelling ability and stage presence sufficient to engage a room of 12-year-olds for an hour without needing to raise your voice
• Demonstrated success converting disengaged or resistant students into motivated, active learners
