I've been compiling a list of charities/volunteer organizations that serve the Appalachian region. In the process I've been trying to gather more information about each organization because you can't recommend any group based solely upon what they put up on their website. I came across the website for Teach for America but felt I wasn't getting the whole picture, so I didn't add it to the list of charitable/volunteer organizations.

Having said that, if anyone here might be able to offer recommendations for educational/literacy groups that service the Appalachian region, could you please pass that information along? I'd really appreciate it.
