AVI and KI are looking for an angel!
We need someone who loves what AVI and KI are about, understands that we are in the midst of both a major start-up project (AVI) and a deep transformation as a growing international non-profit (KI). Our angel is deeply dedicated, multi-task oriented, brings a strong set of skills, and last, but not least, gets along with and has fun working and living with us. And very last, but not least, except for having their food and lodging covered, this angel needs to be able to work without getting paid (at least initially…we’re working on fundraising, but are not able to guarantee anything right now).

If this is you, we can't wait to meet you!
Contact us at AVI@kleiwerks.org.

The perks
You’d be working and living with a great team, with clear vision and a strong track record of international sustainability work. You’d be with other hard workers who also know how to have fun. You’d have access and exposure to a worldwide sustainability network, as well as all of AVI’s programs. You’d be living in the Blue Ridge Mountains, a few blocks from the very cool town of Asheville, NC. You’d have the satisfaction of knowing you are helping to make a big difference in both our local community, as well as in other communities overseas…but then again, do angels really need perks? Only kidding, we’re all human and are just delighted if you want to be part of this. See more details below.
