About Us

Our Vision . . . to embrace the underserved female ex-offender transitioning back into the community by providing services and opportunities that will promote, empower and support the independence and growth of the female ex-offender.

Our Mission . . . to develop and implement a systematic, on-purpose comprehensive approach to the specific social, emotional, economic and spiritual needs of women who have been incarcerated.

Additionally, employing the concept of prevention and intervention we will partner with successful community organizations, expert consultants, along with seasoned role models who will provide ongoing mentoring to ensure the total success of women who participate in Meet "ME" At The Gate Empowerment Program.

Meet “ME” At The Gate Empowerment Program is the vehicle which all of our programs; SOULWork (LifeChange Institute), CAREERWork (Entrepreneurship & Career Development), and HOMEWork (Exodus Transitional Housing & Home Ownership) are generated.

Its purpose is to provide the proper setting to heal, be made whole and ultimately stimulated to grow in many dimensions. Each woman will discover her personal power, talents, aptitudes, skills and positive behaviors, then develop a confident appreciation and love of these special characteristics while constantly learning how to make use of this potential for the benefit of herself, her family, and her community.

Involvement in Meet “ME” At The Gate Empowerment Program will initiate what will become an ongoing process of self-discovery and self-realization resulting in a positive self-image.

Meet the Founders
Revs. Ernest & Rose Randolph

Rose Randolph is one of North America's top visionaries on women's empowerment. She along with her husband, Ernest are the founders of Set Free Indeed! Empowerment Center, Inc., a non-profit community development corporation inspired and designed to empower women previously incarcerated. Many of these women have found themselves trapped by a myriad of abuses; be it physical, emotional or chemical substance.

For nine years, Ernest and Rose held Bible studies and special training programs at the Baltimore City Detention Center, Women's Detention Center, Maryland Correctional Institution for Women, Maryland Annex for Men, St. Ambrose Pre-Release Center and the Baltimore Pre-Release Unit. Many lives were changed as a result of these programs, but not maintained when the men and women returned to their communities. After carefully examining these results, the conclusion became quite clear to create prison aftercare empowerment services specializing in comprehensive human development, mentoring and career oriented programs that would train and develop the female ex-offender to return to her family and community as a loving, caring and productive citizen. Thus, the birth of Set Free Indeed! Empowerment Center, Inc.

Like many of the women Rose has encountered, she too has personally experienced and overcame the pain and suffering of these same abuses. Rose is committed to training and developing women to experience and become all they desire through proven, structured programs specifically written from a practical and spiritual perspective.
