What are the responsibilities and job description for the Youth Mentor, Alpha - $100,000/year USD position at Crossover?
In-person at Alpha campuses: Denver, CO | Atlanta, GA | Nashville, TN | Fort Worth, TX | Houston, TX | Park City, UT
$100,000 annual salary, paid weekly. Full health, dental, and vision coverage from day one.
Relocation support available if you're ready to move.
The most meaningful thing you can do for a student who reaches 99% of their target is to decline calling it complete. If that expectation feels uncomfortable, this position isn't the right fit. If it energizes you—because you understand that maintaining high standards is how you demonstrate belief in a student's potential—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 lectures. No textbooks. Your role focuses on what technology cannot replicate: guiding students through essential life skills such as public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange. You'll facilitate interactive workshops, drive students to exceed their learning targets, and cultivate relationships that transform a reserved fourth grader into someone who presents with confidence before a room of adults.
This position grows with you. During your first year, you'll lead a small student cohort and internalize Alpha's methodology: life skill workshops, motivation coaching, mastery-based evaluation. Once you consistently hold every student accountable to 100% goal completion while sustaining satisfaction scores above 90%, advancement to Lead Guide becomes available—where you'll mentor a team while remaining actively engaged with students. The most effective people in this role don't merely impact individual students; they influence how an entire campus functions.
Traditional schools don't offer this opportunity. If you've been coaching, counseling, or mentoring young people and want to abandon instructional teaching to focus on genuine development, this role is designed for you.

What You Will Be Doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skill workshops for K-12 students covering topics such as public speaking, concentration, time management, and constructive feedback practices (interactive and project-driven, never lecture-based)
- Conducting daily motivation sessions where you engage individual students, assess their progress in adaptive learning platforms (via Coachbot analytics), and challenge them to achieve 100% of their weekly targets
- Organizing and executing mastery-based assessments (Test2Pass) to verify students have genuinely acquired each skill, not merely attended sessions
- Cultivating authentic relationships with every student so they trust your guidance through challenges, distractions, and moments of uncertainty
- Monitoring student advancement against satisfaction metrics and goal attainment data, modifying your methods when outcomes require improvement
- Presenting lectures or delivering conventional academic instruction (students complete core subjects through self-directed adaptive applications, independent of your teaching)
- Developing lesson plans from the ground up (Alpha supplies a structured life skills curriculum and implementation guides; your responsibility is to animate them with enthusiasm and narrative)
- Handling parent communications or school administrative duties (Campus Leads manage those areas; you remain concentrated on student development)
- Evaluating homework or coordinating standardized test preparation (these do not exist in our model)
- Operating independently (you're integrated into a campus team alongside Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and maintain mutual accountability)
Guarantee that every student in your cohort develops a love for learning, achieves mastery of critical life skills, and reaches 100% of their academic objectives through adaptive learning technology.
Basic Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- 3 years of direct experience working with K-8 students (in teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program leadership capacities)
- Commitment to in-person work at an Alpha campus located in Denver, CO; Atlanta, GA; Nashville, TN; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX; or Park City, UT (relocation assistance provided)
- Availability to participate in a paid training program at Alpha's Austin, TX campus
- Legal authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship
- Background in youth development: sports coaching, camp leadership, or youth program roles where you held direct accountability for motivating children to achieve defined objectives
- Demonstrated history of personal excellence (academic distinctions, competitive sports achievements, or leadership positions requiring sustained high performance)
- Innate storytelling capability: you can command the attention of a room full of 12-year-olds for an hour without needing to raise your voice
- Proven ability to motivate disengaged or reluctant students and convert them into active, enthusiastic participants
