The talks below are videos from free services like YouTube and Vimeo, as well as some paid for services like Right Now Media and Netflix.
After each talk, consider having a conversation with your students about the talk and help them process it. First, give them 5-10 mins to process what they heard through journaling (either on paper on on their phones), then asks questions like these...
What did you like about that talk?
What challenged you from this talk?
How can you apply this in your life?
Keep the questions open ended and don't force anyone to talk. Just give them time to process.
These 13 videos are high quality have short segments broken up by discussion questions, and are designed for non-believers. Check them out to see if they are a good fit for your group. Be sure to preview them so that you know what your students are going to be hearing. Alpha is great but their practices and beliefs are a little different than Cru's at times.
Right Now Media is a subscription site that many larger churches provide for their congregations. The videos below are available on Right Now Media and are excellent professional video series that could work great for your main talks.

This is just a sample of the many video series' available on Right Now Media. If you don't have a subscription through your church, ask your team if they do, or ask a larger church near you. It is likely that someone in your network has a subscription your ministry could use.
If you're watching a YouTube video, set up the video before you need to show it and skip the commercials
