Youth Program Director, Alpha - $100,000​/year USD

• W2 salary of $100,000/year, with weekly pay. Full health benefits start on day one.
• Relocation assistance available for a one-school-year on-campus commitment

You've built your career around coaching young people — not instructing them. You understand the distinction: coaching means building connection, setting high expectations, and refusing to accept anything less than a student's full potential. Instruction is about delivering information. You've never been an information delivery mechanism.

Alpha operates one of the most unconventional educational models you'll encounter. Students don't sit in traditional rows listening to lectures. They progress through AI-driven learning platforms at individualized paces. The AI manages academic instruction. Your responsibility is to facilitate life skills workshops that command the attention of K-8 students, lead motivation sessions that drive them toward weekly learning targets, and maintain standards when a student attempts to disengage.

Academic progress is automated. You manage the human dimension.

This position offers a meaningful growth trajectory, and that trajectory is defined by deeper student outcomes. Those who consistently achieve their metrics (100% cohort attainment of weekly app targets, satisfaction scores above 90%) advance into Lead Guide positions where they train other educators to execute this model effectively. Students remain the central focus.

The campus sits in Brownsville, adjacent to SpaceX's Starbase facility. If your motivation for leaving your current position is the mission — transforming what a young person believes about their own capacity — rather than adding a line to your CV,
