We're passionate about harnessing the power of technology to bridge the gap in mental wellness support and ensure that every student has access to the resources they need to thrive.
The Role
As a chat-based youth mental health coach at arenaflex, you'll play a vital role in supporting young people through our cutting-edge chat platform. You'll provide on-demand and weekly coaching to students from diverse and historically marginalized communities, using empathy and awareness to create a safe and non-judgmental space for them to express themselves.
Key Responsibilities
* Provide on-demand and weekly coaching to young people through our chat platform, using established protocols and guidelines to ensure the highest level of support.
- Use empathy and awareness to support students from diverse and historically marginalized communities, adapting your approach to meet the unique needs of each individual.
- Continuously learn and adapt to new online platforms and tools, with ongoing training and support from our team of Coach Supervisors.
- Collaborate with our team to develop and refine our coaching protocols, ensuring that our services remain responsive to the evolving needs of our students.
What You'll Need
* Experience in mental health, youth work, or coaching, with a strong understanding of the complexities of adolescent mental health.
- Reliable laptop or computer (no tablets or cell phones) and internet with a minimum 50 mbps download speed.
- A quiet, distraction-free workspace that allows you to focus on providing high-quality coaching support.

Certification and Training
* If you're new to coaching, don't worry! We offer the arenaflex Coach Certification Program, a comprehensive 24-hour training program that covers the fundamentals of chat-based coaching. You'll commit 4-5 hours per week from November to December 2024 to complete the program.
- If you've already completed an accredited coaching program, you can fast-track your training by passing our assessments.
Flexibility and Adaptability
* We adapt to the needs of our students, which means that coaching hours can vary from week to week. You may support students 1-3 hours a week, or sometimes not at all, depending on the demand for coaching at any given time.
- Coaching happens during school hours (8am-6pm EST / 5am-3pm PST), so you'll need to be flexible and available to support students during these times.
What We Offer
* A competitive salary and benefits package that reflects your value to our team.
- Ongoing training and support to help you develop your coaching skills and stay up-to-date with the latest best practices.
- A dynamic and supportive work environment that's committed to making a positive impact on youth mental health.
