Carolyn Kennedy
First XP Synergy Retiree
Please join us in celebrating XP Synergy’s very first retiree, Carolyn Kennedy.
For ten years, Carolyn served as a Criminal Justice Re-entry Instructor with Opportunity Now Adult Services, where she dedicated herself to helping individuals transition from incarceration to meaningful employment and successful reintegration into the community.
Her work was defined by compassion, integrity, and a bold commitment to justice. She balanced empathy with accountability, uplifted her clients, and mentored her peers. Carolyn’s legacy is one of transformation and empowerment—and her impact will be felt for years to come.
Thank you, Carolyn, for a decade of remarkable service. We honor your contributions and wish you joy and fulfillment in retirement.
