About ReRoot
Professionals who speak your language, wherever life takes you
Moving to a new country is hard enough. Explaining a legal problem, a medical question or your taxes in a second language should not make it harder. ReRoot connects immigrants, diaspora communities and expats with lawyers, doctors, accountants and other professionals who speak their language and understand where they come from.
Why we built ReRoot
When people move abroad, they usually find help the same way: they ask around. A cousin knows a lawyer, a neighbour knows a dentist, someone in a group chat knows an accountant who speaks the language. It works, but only if you already know the right people.
ReRoot was founded in Chicago in 2025 to make that word of mouth open to everyone. We bring the professionals your community already trusts into one place, so you can search by service, city and language, read what they do and message them directly.
For professionals, ReRoot is a simple way to be found by the people who need them most: clients who would rather explain their situation in their own language.
How ReRoot works
If you need help
- 1. Search by service, city and the language you want to speak.
- 2. Compare profiles: what each professional does, where they work and which languages they speak.
- 3. Message them directly, or send one request and let ReRoot find the right people for you.
If you are a professional
- 1. Create a free profile with your services, languages and location.
- 2. Get found by people searching in your language, on the map and in search.
- 3. Answer requests from people who need exactly what you offer.
Find people from home, anywhere in the world
ReRoot is also a way to find your community. Add your country of origin to your profile and discover other members and professionals from the same place, whether they live in your new city or on the other side of the world.
- Search by country of origin to see who else on ReRoot comes from where you do.
- Narrow it to where they live now to meet people nearby, or keep it worldwide.
- Say hello and swap advice with someone who knows home.
Every kind of professional, in your language
Whether you need an immigration lawyer who speaks Albanian, a Spanish-speaking family doctor or an accountant who understands taxes in two countries, ReRoot helps you find someone who can explain things clearly, in the language you think in.
What we stand for
Your language first
Search by the language you are most comfortable in. Every professional lists the languages they actually work in.
Real professionals
Profiles show what each person does, where they work and how to reach them, so you know who you are talking to before you write.
Private by design
Your messages are private: ReRoot staff only look at one if it is reported. Members are not listed in search; only professionals are.
On the web and on your phone
Use ReRoot at reroot.app or in the free app for iPhone and Android, in English or Spanish.
Built with the community
ReRoot grows the way trust grows: person to person. Members recommend professionals they know, professionals invite colleagues, and our ambassadors help bring the experts their communities rely on onto ReRoot.
