About Rehoboth
Room enough for everyone.
Rehoboth is an ancient word meaning “broad places” — a place with room enough for all. We chose it because it's exactly what language access should feel like.
“No one should leave a hospital, a courtroom or a classroom without having understood — or been understood.”
Rehoboth Language Services was founded on a simple conviction: language should never be the reason someone is left out. Think of the doctor's visit where the words don't land, the school meeting that feels like a closed door, the legal form that might as well be blank.
We built Rehoboth to be the language partner every family deserves — fast enough for an emergency room, precise enough for a courtroom, and human enough to make someone feel at home in an unfamiliar place.
Today we connect organizations across the United States with qualified interpreters and translators in 200+ languages — with particular depth in Ethiopian and Eritrean languages and in rare African, Middle Eastern, Asian and indigenous Latin American languages.
