In the late 1800s, many immigrants came from southeastern Europe in search of jobs in America. While they provided work, they were also controlled by mob bosses who provided them with shelter.

Settlement houses ran various programs aimed at helping immigrants adapt to their new country, including English language classes, vocational training, and citizenship courses. They also offered social services such as childcare, healthcare, and legal assistance, fostering community engagement and support.

what advise would you give to new immigrants?
The influx of new immigrants around the turn of the twentieth century led to a significant increase in the demand for acculturation programs in the U.S. As diverse groups arrived, there was a growing recognition of the need to help these immigrants adapt to American society, language, and culture. Consequently, various organizations, including settlement houses and government initiatives, developed programs aimed at facilitating this integration, ultimately shaping the cultural landscape of the nation. These efforts not only aimed to assist immigrants but also to address the concerns of native-born citizens regarding social cohesion and cultural preservation.
