Youth Development Specialist, Alpha

• Onsite in Atlanta, GA or Keller (Fort Worth), TX
• Ready to move? Relocation support included
• $150,000 salary, paid weekly. Day‑one health benefits

The most supportive thing you can do for a kid who scored 99% is refuse to call it 100%. At Alpha, that’s not a debate. It’s how every day works. Students learn academics through self‑guided apps, not from an adult at the front of the room. That frees you to do what actually changes lives: lead high‑energy workshops on public speaking, focus, and feedback.

Motivate students to hit every learning goal using real‑time analytics. Coach the Guides who work alongside you. Your tools are data, a proven playbook, and the kind of presence that makes twelve‑year‑olds lean in instead of tune out.

You’ll own a cohort of students and be accountable for three outcomes: they love school, they learn at twice the pace of a traditional classroom, and they build real‑life skills. You’ll coach other Guides from day one. As you deliver results at scale, your influence over campus‑wide program quality grows.

Atlanta:
Culture‑rich metro with mild climate and a cost of living that stretches further than the coasts. Fort Worth:
No state income tax, top‑rated schools, and a family‑friendly city with a booming arts and food scene.
