The Hull House that Jane Addams founded in Chicago offered services for inmigrant groups.

After Addams trip to England, where she was introduced to Toynbee Hall, a settlement based on one of London's poorest neighbourhoods that offered educational and recreational programs, Adamms was inspired to open Hull House in Chicago. The main mission was to bring both the rich and poor in society together both physicaly and socialy.

At Hull House many subjets were addressed such as child labor, women's suffrage and inmigrant policies, among other subjects, and served as a base to promote legislative reforms.

The correct answer is immigrant groups.

Addams followed the example of Tonynbee Hall, which was described as “a community of university men “.

In the 19th century women’s movement started to promote education and autonomy to women in order to break the male domination. So the Hull house was known as " a community of university women".

Hull house was located in a poor neighborhood with working class people ( many of them recent European immigrants). The volunteers , which were called residents at the Hull house, held classes in literature, history, art, domestic activities and other subjects. Hull House also held concerts that were free to everyone, offered free lectures on current issues, and operated clubs for both children and adults.
