Youth Mentor, Alpha - $150,000/year USD

Location & Compensation On-site at an Alpha campus: Atlanta, GA Oklahoma City, OK Tulsa, OK Austin, TX Keller (Fort Worth), TX The Woodlands (Houston), TX Park City (Salt Lake City), UT Toronto, Canada $150,000/year W2 salary, paid weekly. Day‑one health benefits. Relocation support available Overview Alpha, kids learn academics in two hours a day through self-guided AI-powered apps. No teachers. No lectures. No classroom management of subject content. That frees you to do the work that actually changes their trajectory: leading high-energy workshops on public speaking, focus, and feedback; motivating students to hit every learning goal using real-time analytics; and coaching the Guides who work alongside you. Your morning might start with a one‑on‑one coaching session with a Guide, reviewing performance data and identifying where a cohort is falling behind. By midday you're leading a live workshop with students, running a playbook activity on giving and receiving feedback. Afternoons shift to motivation sessions: connecting with individual students, understanding what drives them, and using Alpha's incentive model to get a resistant 7th grader back on track. You carry your own cohort directly, so you stay sharp on the same skills you're coaching others to develop. You've probably been the square peg in education: too data‑driven, too results‑focused, too willing to challenge what's 'supposed to' happen with kids. Alpha is the first place that might actually fit. You'll coach other Guides from day one, and as you deliver results at scale, your influence over campus‑wide program quality grows. Responsibilities Leading one‑hour live workshops on life skills (public speaking, focus, giving and receiving feedback) for K‑8 cohorts, following Alpha's playbook rather than improvising Running motivation sessions using student analytics and Alpha's incentive system (school currency, leaderboards) to drive 100% student goal completion Coaching Guides on program fidelity and standards enforcement, with every session producing tangible improvement actions Maintaining your own student cohort while developing other Guides Tracking student satisfaction scores, goal completion rates, and Guide performance metrics weekly to spot underperformance before it compounds What You Won’t Be Doing Lecturing or tutoring students on academic subjects. Students learn through self‑guided apps without an adult in the room. Designing curriculum or building lesson plans from scratch. The playbook exists; the bar is fidelity of delivery, not originality. Coaching Guides on teaching technique. Guides don't teach, so you're coaching energy, motivation, and accountability instead. Making exceptions when a student scores 99% instead of 100%. Holding the line is how you show them you believe they can get there. Being the big ball of empathy every school has. Kids get connection here, and they also get honest feedback and real consequences. Key Responsibilities Deliver Alpha's three promises to every student in your cohort: they love school, learn twice as fast as a traditional classroom, and develop real life skills.
