Remote Youth Mentor, Unbound Academy

Overview

Your role is to ensure students feel supported, energized, and motivated to engage—without the burden of lesson planning, grading, or academic instruction. This position is designed for individuals who connect well with young people and excel in dynamic environments. At Unbound Academy, a fully virtual, tuition-free charter school, students progress rapidly through academics using AI-powered tools, then participate in live, interactive workshops centered on life skills, teamwork, and self-assurance.

Your responsibility is to make those experiences seamless and meaningful for every student.

You'll serve as the backbone of the daily experience. You’ll facilitate transitions, guide small groups, sustain energy levels, and offer support when a student needs reassurance or direction. Content delivery isn't your focus—but your presence is essential to making the model work.

If you've guided youth in camps, extracurricular programs, athletics, tutoring, or community organizations—and you're drawn to a blended role that combines virtual facilitation with hands-on collaboration—this is an opportunity to make school feel personal and connected again.
