“Making friends in a new city as a young adult is so hard! I joined a RealRoots experience after a year of trying to make friends in the wild with not much luck and it has been so fulfilling! I looked forward to seeing the girls and the conversation prompts from our guide took away a lot of the typical awkwardness. Definitely excited to continue growing these friendships!”

★★★★★
“It’s so helpful to have a way to meet other women looking for similar connection and friendship. In a time of the virtual and online, nothing replaces meeting in person. I’ve spent a lot of energy in trying to meet new people through different avenues, and this is by far the most successful and meaningful. Everyone is on the same page in what they are looking for.”
Zoe R., 37 · Sacramento

Thoughtful activities, effective prompts, seamless execution - thank you so much to RR, our guide, and the ladies who showed up with so much grace, positivity, vulnerability, and passion.”

★★★★★
“I can't say enough positive things about RealRoots. I was nervous to meet a bunch of new ladies, but our guide was amazing. She set the tone for our group by curating engaging prompts that enabled us to cut through the small talk and connect on a deeper level in our first meetup. If you're looking to have fun and make authentic connections, join RealRoots. You won't regret it!”
Moira D., 30 · San Francisco
★★★★★
“The RealRoots series was such a unique and meaningful experience. I met an amazing group of driven, successful women from diverse backgrounds, which made every interaction both enriching and fun. The guided conversations and one-on-one connections made it so much easier to truly get to know each other. Our guide was incredible—her authenticity and openness really set the tone for the group, and I strongly believe she was key to how successful the experience was.”
Chardae D., 43 · San Francisco
★★★★★
“Uprooting my life and leaving my close friend group behind in another state was hard. I don’t usually have trouble making friends, but after more than a year in Brooklyn, I only had one solid friend. Between working remotely and being chronically “busy,” I was struggling. I’ve made some friends through Real Roots that I really click with. As a bonus, I feel more motivated and energized in my personal and career goals—just because all of these women are amazing and accomplished. All ships rise!”
Paola H., 25 · Brooklyn, NY
★★★★★
“I’m so grateful for the connections I’ve made with RealRoots. It’s so difficult to find new friends when you’re in a different life stage than your default friends (I’m retired and many of my friends are still working). RealRoots did an amazing job matching me and the other women together. The facilitated sessions really helped us open up and get to know each other better. I was nervous to attend at first but I’m so happy I did because I made some amazing, strong, and uplifting friends. I’m so excited to hang out with them more and create new and fun memories together. This was probably the best $250 I’ve ever spent in my life.”
Amelia G., 66 · San Diego, CA
★★★★★
“As someone in their late 40s I’ve been struggling with meeting new female friends, a problem I never had earlier in my life. RealRoots is the perfect friend matchmaking service! I was initially nervous to join and literally debated for about a year after seeing their flyer in my neighborhood, but I’m so glad I took the plunge! I loved my gal group and found something in common with each and every one of them. The group activities were all super fun and having those shared experiences really did bring us closer together. I highly recommend RealRoots to anyone looking for more community and deeper connection!”
