Remote Youth Mentor, Unbound Academy

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a hybrid role that requires physical presence in Arizona.

What if your role was to keep students energized, engaged, and eager to participate—without curriculum development, testing, or classroom instruction?

This position is designed for individuals who connect naturally with young people and excel in dynamic environments. At Unbound Academy's tuition-free, fully virtual charter school, students accelerate through core academics using AI-driven tools, then dedicate the remainder of their day to live, interactive workshops emphasizing life skills, teamwork, and personal growth. Your responsibility is to ensure these experiences run seamlessly and resonate with students.

You'll serve as the operational backbone of the student experience. You'll facilitate smooth transitions, guide small groups, sustain high energy, and intervene when a student requires support or clarification. Content delivery isn't your responsibility—but the experience depends on your presence.

If you've mentored youth through camps, extracurricular programs, athletics, academic support, or community organizations—and you're drawn to a hybrid position combining virtual facilitation with in-person teamwork—this is an opportunity to make school feel personal and purposeful again.

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitating live virtual workshops by coordinating breakout rooms, managing transitions, setting pacing, and maintaining group dynamics
• Promoting active participation using chat features, verbal affirmations, gentle prompts, and individualized student check-ins
• Ensuring students remain engaged, confident, and socially connected throughout their daily learning experience
• Supporting lead educators with operational logistics that enable sessions to proceed without disruption
• Serving as a reliable, recognizable presence across student clubs and life-skills programming

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Instructing academic subjects or providing direct content delivery
• Developing lesson plans, evaluating assignments, or conducting academic assessments
• Building curriculum or facilitating workshops without supervision
• Remaining passive or observing from the sidelines—this is an engaged, energetic role

Remote Youth Mentor Key Responsibilities Facilitate dynamic, virtual learning environments by keeping students engaged, organized, and motivated across all workshop sessions.

Basic Requirements

• Available to start immediately or at the end of July (one of the two).
• At least 1 years of experience mentoring, coaching, tutoring, or leading youth
• Educational background within U.S., Canadian, or U.K. school systems (K–16); must have attended school in one of these countries
• Energizing, student-first presence with strong attention to detail
• Willing to work in a hybrid role in Arizona.
