Job Description

Whether you've dominated in athletics, mastered academic competitions, or excelled in your field, your drive for excellence is exactly what we're seeking. This role offers you the chance to pivot your high-achieving mindset toward nurturing the same potential in young minds.

As a Youth Program Director at Alpha, you'll channel your passion for excellence into creating an environment where students discover their own capabilities and passions. You won't be confined by traditional educational boundaries—you'll be breaking them.

You've already proven your ability to reach extraordinary heights. Now, help us elevate the next generation to reach theirs. Join Alpha and transform your personal achievements into a legacy of inspiration.

Why Alpha stands apart:

• Exceptional compensation package with comprehensive benefits for in-person team members
• Clear advancement pathways—many of our Guides evolve into leadership positions
• Access to cutting-edge educational technology and leadership resources

Join our educational revolution across our growing network of campuses:

• Florida: Miami, Orlando, Tampa & West Palm Beach
• Phoenix, Arizona
• Santa Barbara, California

What you will be doing

• Building genuine connections with students that spark curiosity and cultivate a mindset of unlimited potential
• Harnessing cutting-edge AI and adaptive learning platforms to create personalized educational journeys
• Creating an atmosphere where growth mindset thrives, helping students identify and develop their unique talents
• Actively participating in the evolution of Alpha's revolutionary educational approach through feedback and innovation
• Designing and facilitating dynamic life skills workshops that prepare students for real-world success beyond academics

What you will NOT be doing

• Delivering conventional education through outdated methods—you won't be lecturing from textbooks or following rigid curricula (this is not a tutor or teaching assistant position)
• Focusing solely on academic metrics while neglecting students' personal development and growth journey
• Restricting learning to traditional approaches when innovative technologies and methods could better serve our students

Key Responsibilities

Your core mission is to embody Alpha's commitment to limitless education. You'll create an environment where boundaries disappear, helping students develop the confidence to explore, question, and grow beyond conventional expectations. Your role centers on transforming educational experiences into journeys of self-discovery and unlimited potential.

Candidate Requirements

• Exceptional communication abilities with proven capacity to captivate and inspire diverse audiences
• Genuine passion for connecting with and motivating K-8 students
