Job Description

Join Us in Transforming Youth Mental Health!

Are you passionate about youth mental health and seeking purposeful work? Do you want to share your coaching skills with youth and make a meaningful impact? So do we!

About Us:

Clayful, an early-stage EdTech startup, is a mission-driven team of educators, coaches, and education tech experts dedicated to tackling the youth mental wellness crisis. Our goal: provide every middle and high school student in the U.S. with free, life-changing coaching.

A High-level Overview of the Role:

  • Clayful is seeking Spanish-Speaking mental health coaches to support young people via chat-based and audio/video sessions.
  • This is a remote, 1099 contract position
  • Coaches support during and after school hours (7am-10pm PST) based on coaching demand, with hours ranging from 1-3+ hours a week depending on student needs. 
  • Applicants located in California, Pacific Time Zone or Mountain Time Zone will be prioritized, as well as Spanish-speaking
  • $20/hour with bonus opportunity

A note on compensation: Clayful coaches work with students who would otherwise have no access to mental health support due to financial barriers. Our rates reflect our school-district partnerships, not the private coaching market. Many of our coaches carry this work alongside other roles. If you're looking for a primary income source, this likely isn't the right fit. If you want flexible, meaningful work that reaches young people who need it most, keep reading!

The Role

You'll provide on-demand and scheduled coaching to students in grades 4–12 through Clayful's coaching platform with audio/video and chat-based coaching. Coaching happens during and after school hours: 7am-10 PST , Monday through Friday. Support is needed for high-activity times (~7am-2pm and 4-7pm PST) 

This is a 1099 contract position. Hours vary with student demand — typically 1–3+ hours per week, with natural ebbs during breaks and summers. It's well-suited for coaches who want flexible, mission-aligned work alongside other commitments.

What You'll Do (And What We'll Train You To Do)

  • Provide responsive, empathetic coaching to young people navigating stress, relationships, identity, and academic pressure
  • Support students from diverse and historically marginalized communities with cultural awareness
  • Follow established protocols during crisis conversations, with real-time backup from licensed Coach Supervisors
  • Engage in ongoing training and adapt to new tools & processes as Clayful evolves

What You'll Get

Clayful coaches consistently tell us this work is unlike anything else they've done. Here's what they point to:

  • Training from day one. You'll complete Clayful's onboarding before you ever coach a student — covering coaching frameworks, crisis protocols, and our platform. 
  • Real supervision. Licensed Coach Supervisors are available in real time during sessions. You're never navigating a hard moment alone.
  • Flexibility that's actually flexible. Work during school and after-school hours that fit around your life. Hours shift with student demand, so you're never locked into a rigid schedule.
  • A community of coaches who get it. You'll be part of a team that shares your values — and your unique love of working with young people.
  • Room to grow. Ongoing training, evolving tools, and a startup that's building something new. If you want to shape what youth coaching looks like, this is the place.
  • Mission you can feel. Every student you coach is one who wouldn't have access otherwise.

“I’ve been with Clayful for almost 4 years because I believe in what it stands for. I think it meets kids where they are.”

— Clayful Coach, Florida

79% of Clayful coaches say they'd recommend this role to a fellow coach.

What You'll Need

  • California Wellness Coach Certification (or eligibility via one of two pathways — you do not need to live in CA):
    • Workforce Pathway: 1,350+ hours working with youth (up to age 25) in pre-clinical behavioral health within the last 6 years
    • Education Pathway: Associate's or bachelor's degree in Social Work, Human Services, Addiction Studies, or Psychology from a CA institution + 400 hours of field experience (care coordination, wellness promotion, screening and/or education)
  • Minimum 1 year of coaching experience with proof of certification
  • Associate's degree or higher 
  • Reliable laptop or desktop computer and internet (50+ Mbps download)
  • A private, distraction-free workspace
  • Must reside & be in the U.S. for the duration of your contract with Clayful.
  • Applicants in California, Pacific Time, or Mountain Time will be prioritized
  • Spanish-speaking applicants will be prioritized

Who Thrives Here

You're naturally empathetic, mission-driven and genuinely like young people. You're comfortable with ambiguity — startup pace, variable hours, evolving tools. You don't need a lot of hand-holding, but you value feedback to grow, supervision and community. 

Application Process

  1. Written application
  2. Video interview
  3. Live group interview
  4. Two references
  5. Background check
  6. Wellness Coach Certification (or begin the free application process)
