 Bob Roll
Onesimus Mentoring, Inc., Cofounder & Program Director
Bob has over thirty six years of personal recovery which includes over thirty years' experience working with individuals reentering society from incarceration. His resume includes working as an ordained minister, volunteer prison chaplain, drug and alcohol counselor, and an anger management instructor, all of which help drive his passion of helping others. Through his extensive work with the faith-based community, Bob has operated numerous re-entry homes and programs while working in conjunction with jail chaplains, parole, probation, and the courts. Bob joined OCREP in 2013 as a General Member which coincided with being asked by the Orange County Jail Chaplains to start a mentoring program. The vision of this program was to link up with inmates when they made a decision to change their lives while in custody and continue to work with and mentor them after their release back into the community. In 2014, Bob, along with Gene Miles (Gleaners Executive Chaplain/former OCREP Board Member) founded Onesimus Mentoring, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization committed to transforming lives after incarceration. What began as a simple mentoring program of connecting an inmate wanting to change with a volunteer from the community, has now evolved into re-entry planning lessons and classes, collaborating with other agencies and resources, and support groups for newly released individuals and their families. Bob envisions increased community interaction as more transitional housing, educational and employment opportunities for the men, women and families we serve. |
