Youth Mentor, Alpha - $100,000/year USD
Crossover•Atlanta, GA
fulltime
Business Development, Education, and Engineering
3+ years
The most valuable thing you can offer a student who reaches 99% of their target is to refuse to accept it as complete. If this standard feels uncomfortable, this position won't be the right fit. If it energizes you because you understand that maintaining high expectations is how you demonstrate belief in a student's ability to exceed them, continue reading.
Alpha operates differently from conventional schools. Students complete a full day's worth of academics in roughly two hours using adaptive software. No traditional lectures. No textbooks. Your responsibility centers on what technology cannot replicate: guiding young people through essential life skills such as public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange. You'll facilitate interactive workshops, inspire students to exceed their learning targets, and develop relationships that transform a reserved 4th grader into someone who presents with confidence before an audience of adults.
This position grows over time. During your first year, you'll manage a small student cohort and become fluent in Alpha's methodology: life skill workshops, motivation coaching, and mastery-based evaluation. Once you demonstrate the ability to guide every student to 100% goal attainment while maintaining satisfaction scores above 90%, opportunities emerge to advance into a Lead Guide role, where you'll mentor a team while remaining engaged directly with students. The highest performers in this role don't simply transform individual trajectories; they influence how an entire campus functions.
Traditional schools don't offer this opportunity. If you've been working in coaching, counseling, or youth mentorship and wish you could eliminate instructional teaching to focus on genuine development, this is your opportunity.
