Youth Coach, Alpha – $100,000/year USD Jobs in West Palm Beach, FL at Crossover
Title: Youth Coach, Alpha – $100,000/year USD
Company: Crossover
Location: West Palm Beach, FL
- On-site role in Houston, TX—choose from Central Houston, South Houston, or The Woodlands locations (we provide relocation assistance)
- $100,000 annual salary with weekly pay cycles. Full health, dental, and vision coverage starts day one
The kindest thing you can offer a child who reaches 99% of their target is to hold firm and say it's not finished. If that philosophy unsettles you, this position won't be a match. If it energizes you because you understand that maintaining high expectations is how you demonstrate belief in a student's capacity, continue reading.
Alpha operates differently from conventional schools. Students complete a full academic day in roughly two hours using adaptive technology. No classroom lectures. No traditional textbooks. Your role centers on what technology cannot replicate: developing life competencies in Pre-K through 8th grade students—public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange. You'll spend half your time facilitating interactive workshops guided by structured frameworks and narrative techniques. The remaining hours involve sitting with students individually or in small clusters, analyzing their adaptive learning progress via Coachbot analytics, and driving them toward 100% weekly goal completion. Mastery is demonstrated through Test2Pass evaluations, not attendance or effort scores.
During your first year, you'll take ownership of a student cohort and become fluent in Alpha's methodology: life competency workshops, motivation coaching, mastery-validated assessments. When you consistently hold every student to full goal completion while maintaining satisfaction ratings above 90%, advancement to Lead Guide becomes available—coaching fellow Guides while maintaining direct student contact. Top performers don't merely transform individual trajectories; they influence campus-wide culture and systems.
If you've invested years coaching, counseling, or mentoring young people and longed to eliminate traditional instruction in favor of genuine developmental work, this represents that opportunity.
What You Will Be Doing
- Facilitating one-hour life competency workshops for Pre-K–8 students covering public speaking, concentration, teamwork, and constructive feedback skills (experiential and project-driven)
- Conducting daily individual and small-group coaching sessions where you analyze each student's adaptive learning data (via Coachbot analytics), establish targets, and drive them toward 100% weekly completion
- Administering and assessing Test2Pass evaluations to verify genuine mastery of each life competency, beyond simple participation
- Adjusting your coaching approach across diverse developmental stages, from Pre-K learners requiring energetic, movement-based engagement to 8th graders needing direct conversation and firm accountability
- Cultivating authentic connections with each student so trust allows you to coach effectively through resistance, distraction, and moments of self-doubt
What You Won’t Be Doing
- Delivering lectures or traditional academic content (core subjects are learned through adaptive platforms, not instructor-led teaching)
- Creating lesson plans or curriculum content from the ground up (Alpha supplies life skills frameworks; your role is executing them with energy and compelling storytelling)
- Handling parent communication or administrative school functions (Campus Leads manage these areas; you concentrate on student development)
- Evaluating homework assignments or preparing students for standardized tests (these elements don't exist in our model)
- Operating independently without collaboration (you're integrated into a campus team including Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and mutual accountability)

- Willingness to work on-site at Alpha's Central Houston, South Houston, or The Woodlands campus (relocation assistance available)
