What are the responsibilities and job description for the Student Mentor, Unbound Academy - $40,000/year USD position at Crossover?
IMPORTANT NOTE: This position is hybrid and requires you to be physically located in Arizona.
What if your role was to keep students motivated, supported, and eager to participate—with no lesson planning, grading, or academic assessment involved?
This position is designed for individuals who excel at working with young people and enjoy staying active. Unbound Academy operates a tuition-free, fully virtual charter school where students complete their academic work efficiently using AI-powered tools, then engage in live, interactive workshops that emphasize collaboration, life skills, and personal growth. Your responsibility is to ensure these experiences run seamlessly and resonate positively with students.
You will serve as the operational backbone of the student experience. You'll facilitate transitions, guide small groups, sustain energy and engagement, and provide support when students need clarification or encouragement. Content delivery is not part of your role—but your presence is essential to making the model effective.
If you have experience leading youth in settings like camps, after-school programs, athletics, tutoring, or community organizations—and the idea of a hybrid role combining virtual facilitation with in-person collaboration appeals to you—this is an opportunity to make education feel personal and impactful again.
What You Will Be Doing
Facilitate dynamic, virtual learning environments by maintaining student engagement, organization, and enthusiasm across all workshop sessions.
Basic Requirements
Unbound Academy is Arizona’s first virtual, tuition-free charter school, designed to make grades 4-8 limitless, personal, and exciting. This isn’t just an alternative to the traditional school system. It’s a revolutionary way for your family to reclaim time, unlock potential, and reimagine what education can be.
At Unbound Academy, students can master their core academics in just two hours a day. Our teachers use an AI-powered learning model to adjust to each child’s pace and interests, ensuring progress happens twice as fast as in a typical classroom.
By cutting out the fluff and streamlining coursework, we not only make a significant academic impact—we make learning fun, personal, and incredibly effective.
There is so much to cover for this exciting role, and space here is limited. Hit the Apply button if you found this interesting and want to learn more. We look forward to meeting you!
