Job Details

Position: Part-Time Facilitator and Program Manager (i.e. Lead Compass Coach, San Antonio)
Location: San Antonio, Texas

Type: Part-Time Consultant (5-15 hours per week)

 

OVERVIEW OF NXU

The Short Version: At nXu, we believe that it's not enough to teach kids academic skills; We owe it to them to help them identify and pursue their purpose in the world. We work with K-12 educators to support their work in developing their students' sense of purpose. We also work directly with high school and college students to articulate their purpose and map the path they will take to live their lives with purpose.

The Long Version: nXu is a national non-profit organization whose mission is to catalyze and equip youth and adults to explore, articulate, and pursue their purpose by developing social and emotional learning skills. Overseen by nationally recognized educators including the co-founders of Transcend Education, we have developed a research & evidence-based purpose development methodology, curriculum, and program model that can be deployed in-person, online, and on a blended basis. We offer a training program as well as a purpose development curriculum to schools, and we also directly implement programming both online and in person with students both in school and out of school.

OVERVIEW OF ROLE

nXu is seeking an exceptional educator to serve as the Lead Compass Coach (i.e. lead facilitator and program manager) of nXu’s programming in San Antonio during the 2021-22 school year. The Lead Compass Coach will facilitate all of nXu’s student-facing purpose development programming and may also facilitate educator-facing programming. In the short term, this will consist of online delivery of our programming. Once the pandemic subsides, facilitation will occur both onsite at schools during the week (one or two days a week) and out of school, on select weeknights and weekend days. In addition, this team member will represent nXu in the greater San Antonio area, with partner organizations, potential funders, and other key constituents. This person will play a key role in recruiting students to participate in nXu’s out-of-school programming and in securing and cultivating partnerships with schools and organizations. Logistically, this individual will need to be available, on average, for approximately 5 to 15 hours per week. 

The ideal Lead Compass Coach will not only possess excellent facilitation skills, but will also exhibit leadership and enthusiasm that inspires fellows, families, volunteers, and other members of the San Antonio community to invest in our mission. 

This is a fast-paced, part-time, virtual and in person role. The point of contact for this person is Cat Lum, nXu’s Director of Programs. This person will also work closely with Yutaka Tamura, Executive Director of nXu, and Jabali Sawicki, Compass Director at nXu.

About Us

When adolescents struggle to find and pursue their purpose, they inevitably struggle in other areas, too. In the fast-changing, increasingly diverse but still inequitable 21st century, young people need a new kind of learning experience that will set them up to pursue their purpose and realize their dreams. nXu is an out-of-school program and a scalable platform, all centered around an innovative set of standards called Compass Standards that together enable young people to explore, articulate and pursue their purpose in life

Launching initially in New York City, nXu brings together a diverse group of high school students from public district, public charter, parochial, and private schools to create new and life-changing learning opportunities that transcend conventional boundaries of the “school building” and the “school day”. The program capitalizes on four summers, afternoons and weekends during 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades as well as a post-12th grade challenge (i.e. gap) year—enabling students to learn with diverse peers in spaces and contexts not typically available to them. 

Through this multi-year, multi-dimensional programming, nXu participants forge new connections—nexus, in Latin—and integrate experiences that have historically been separated for students. nXu sits at the nexus between school and college, childhood and adulthood, education and work, self and other, exploration and mastery, and the made and natural worlds. It is where students discover their purpose, plot out their own journeys, and find their place in the wider community.
