Who We Are

Asthma Free School Zone is a non-profit (501C3) project of Real World Foundation. The program began in 2002 in one school on the Lower East Side of NYC. Today, the core program is active in more than sixty schools in the Bronx, Manhattan and Brooklyn. It serves another 150 schools and daycares in a modified way.

In 2005 we won a US EPA Children's Environmental Health Excellence Award, and an Environmental Health Award from US EPA Region 2.

We are a full-time staff of four with
an equal or greater number of part-time workers and interns. AFSZ founding director is Rebecca Kalin.
