Maricopa Assistant Guide

$36,000 - $42,000 a year

The Role

We're looking for an Assistant Guide to join the team at our Maricopa campus. You'll work alongside our Lead Guides, supporting students throughout the school day in a close-knit, dynamic learning environment.

This is a hands-on, relationship-driven role. You won't be grading worksheets in the back of the room — you'll be in the thick of it, helping students work through real projects, navigate challenges, and build the skills they'll carry far beyond middle school.

What You'll Do

• Support Lead Guides throughout the school day across instructional and non-instructional activities
• Work directly with students individually and in small groups to reinforce learning
• Help facilitate project-based learning activities and keep students on track
• Build genuine relationships with students and contribute to a positive, growth-oriented campus culture
• Assist with classroom logistics, transitions, and day-to-day campus operations
• Collaborate closely with the team to support student success

What We're Looking For

• A genuine love for working with middle schoolers (grades 3–8) — no prior experience required
• Patience, flexibility, and a growth mindset — this is not a traditional school setting
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to connect with students from diverse backgrounds
• Reliability and a team-first attitude; our small campuses depend on every person showing up
• Any background where you had to jump in, multitask, and get things done under pressure (retail, food service, customer service, etc.) is a plus, whether or not it involved kids
• A high school diploma or equivalent is required; no college or education background needed
