The One Less Foundation is a remarkable program, dedicated as they are informed about poverty and its alleviation. The workers are friendly and committed, both to the people they work with and their volunteers. Any questions are always answered, though I rarely had questions simply because the people I worked with were very informative in the first place. I've had a wonderful experience volunteering with The One Less Foundation and can't recommend it enough to others.
