Our structure

One Redemption Rising. Two arms, one mission.

Redemption Rising is the umbrella. Under it, a mission arm serves people directly, and a consulting arm serves the organizations that employ, house, and support them — so both sides of reentry get stronger at the same time.

  • Reentry resources & navigation
  • Transitional housing — 90-day program
  • Inside-Prison Entrepreneurial Program
  • Individual & family support
  • Career pathways, training & employment connections

A note on status: The nonprofit arm is in formation / planned — it is not yet a registered 501(c)(3), and donations are not being solicited as tax-deductible at this time. The two arms are intended to operate as legally separate organizations, with separate finances and governance. Both domains — redemptionrising.org and redemptionrisingconsulting.com — are registered and live.

Led by lived commitment to second chances

“I help individuals, organizations, and communities build stronger reentry systems, create sustainable programs, and develop people into productive, purpose-driven lives.”

ROBERT GIL Founder, Redemption Rising · Founder & Principal Consultant, Redemption Rising Consulting

2 SAMUEL 22:2-7

“The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer…”

Every year, people come home from incarceration ready to work — and run into the same walls: no ID, no transportation, gaps in work history, and employers who don’t know how to say yes. Redemption Rising exists to close that gap from both sides: the planned nonprofit arm prepares returning citizens for real careers and stable lives, and the consulting arm prepares employers and community partners to receive them well.

For employers · Consulting arm

Fair-chance hiring is good hiring

Some of your most loyal, motivated employees may be people a background check would have screened out. We help you hire them well — and keep them.

Prepared candidates

Coached on your workplace expectations before day one, matched to the role — not sent at random.

Risk support you can use

We’ll walk you through the Federal Bonding Program and the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), which can apply when hiring justice-involved workers.

Retention, not churn

Post-hire check-ins catch small problems early — for your team and your new employee.

Resources · Getting started

The first-week checklist

Coming home comes with a long list. These are the pieces we help people line up first — bring what you have, and we’ll work on the rest together.

ID & documents

State ID or driver’s license, Social Security card, and birth certificate. Many jobs and services start here — we’ll help you replace what’s missing.

Housing

Stable housing comes before stable work. We connect people with transitional housing and community housing partners — and help organizations implement 90-day transitional housing programs.

Transportation

Bus passes, transit routes to training and work, and planning around shift times so getting there isn’t the reason a job falls through.

Resume & story

A resume that leads with skills and growth — and honest, confident answers about your past for interviews.

Legal & records

Information about expungement, record sealing, and certificates of relief where available, with referrals to local legal aid.

Support network

Mentors, peer support, family reconnection, and community — because nobody rises alone.
