Jane Addams - Jane Addams Jane Addams (1860 - May 21, 1935), born in Cedarville, Illinois, was an American social worker and reformer, educated in the U.S. and Europe. In 1889 she co-founded (with Ellen Gates Starr) Hull House in Chicago, which was one of the first settlement houses in the United States. Like other settlement houses, Hull House was a type of welfare house for the neighborhood poor and a center for social reform. In 1911 Addams also helped found the National Foundation of Settlements and Neighborhood Centers, and she was its first president. She was also a leader in women's suffrage and pacifist movements. She received the 1931 Nobel Peace Prize (shared with American educator Nicholas Murray Butler)..
Hull House - House, founded in Chicago, Illinois, in 1889 by Jane Addams who was soon joined by other volunteers called "residents," was one of the first settlement houses in the U.S. and eventually grew into one of the largest, with facilities in 13 buildings. At its beginning, its main purposes were to provide social and educational opportunities for working class people in the neighborhood, many of whom were recent immigrants. There were classes in literature, history, art, and many other subjects, concerts free to all, free lectures on current issues, and clubs both for children and adults. Later, the settlement branched out and offered services to ameliorate some of the effects of poverty. There was a public dispensary to provide nutritious food for the sick, a daycare center, public baths, and a homeless.
Fellowship of Reconciliation - was founded in 1915 by sixty-eight pacifists, including Norman Thomas, A. J. Muste, and Jane Addams.

In 1918, FOR and the American Federation of Labor formed Brookwood Labor College, which lasted until 1937..
