MEET THE TEAM
Annette Klinefelter, CEO
Annette Klinefelter, AKI’s founder and CEO, has advocated for young people since 2000 and brings a vast perspective to the development of recovery housing for Washington youth. Her passion for women's social and economic empowerment was realized at Lewis & Clark College, where she received her master’s in educational administration and her undergraduate degree in political science. There, she founded Girls Inc., then oversaw the development and launch of Washington’s first psychiatric residential treatment facility for youth in Vancouver, WA.
Annette has been resolved to develop a more robust continuum of services and care for youth with behavioral health conditions and substance use disorders ever since.
“All of my personal and professional experiences have converged at AKI—here, women are empowered to grow and lead in the pursuit of healing for our youth.”
