The settlement house was a big help for me as a worker. It was some what like public ad is now. This movement has helped me around the world,giving me a better chance at surviving in the world. This movement begun in britain.Jane adams and several others bought the run-down mansion and opened the doors to many immigrants. At first Starr and Addams simply wanted to get to know there neighbors. But then begin responding to the community as a whole.There were more than 400 settlement houses in the 1910. Most settlement houses were supported by donations and voulunteers willing to work for little wages and free room and board. Hundreds of college graduate,especially women kind of ditched there other professions to become a settlement worker. Most workers spent only a couple of years at these jobs because they moved onto professional jobs. Little never forgot there wonderful experience at the settlement houses. The reason why most of them did this was because they loved the fact that they were helping the poor and unfortunate,by doing that, that made them feel better.
