Director of Jobs Program & Mentorship

SOLFL is a new movement in conscious education dedicated to cultivating intellectual, emotional, and spiritual intelligence. Our first school, SOLFL עץ חיים, a K-12 Miami Torah Earth School, offers a rigorous, mutli-disiplinary curriculum that integrates hands-on, experiential learning with entrepreneurship, ecology, creative expressions and spiritual practice. Our goal is to move children away from traditional classrooms, desks and screens, into the real world. This is an irl (in real life) school aimed at cultivating the impact entrepreneurs of the future.

The Director of Jobs Program & Mentorship leads SOLFL’s real-world business and venture ecosystem. This role is responsible for designing, operating, and integrating on-campus enterprises—most notably our coffee shop, retail store, and student-run ventures—as living laboratories where students learn how businesses actually function. This role centers on hands-on business execution. Students learn by participating in inventory management, bookkeeping, product development, branding and marketing, customer experience, operations, and impact-driven decision-making. Entrepreneurship is taught as a practical discipline—grounded in responsibility, systems thinking, and service.

The Director of Jobs Program & Mentorship collaborates closely with faculty and the onsite farm educator to develop farm-based products that move from soil to shelf, reinforcing the full lifecycle of production, value creation, and ethical commerce.

Additionally, this role will also run the school wide Jobs Program wherein students of all ages take part in the day-to-day operations of SOLFL from setting up and serving lunch to distributing mail, to crafting and curating the SOLFL community newsletter.

With our High School cohort, this individual will help oversee the launch of entrepreneurial initiatives in the community including a public facing coffee shop, retail store, and gallery.
