Consultants for Organization Development and Empowerment
Empowering youth and youth-oriented organizations to enact positive change through Organization Development since 2011
"We believe in the youth and their capability to create ripples of change by unlocking their potential and empowering them to effectively impact their organizations."
Organization Development (OD) is the study of positive planned change in an organization. It focuses on the development of an organization's human resource through carefully planned efforts and interventions, guiding organizations to adapt to changes and continuously improve.
As a non-profit, student-run consultancy at Ateneo de Manila University, we provide free tailor-fit Organization Development services for youth organizations. Our self-trained OD consultants reach out to different youth organizations and schools to help them grow and create meaningful impact in their communities.
OD is a tool that Ateneo CODE uses to pursue its advocacy of empowering youth and youth-oriented organizations. We continuously build on our capabilities as OD consultants through constant research and practice, ensuring that the youth we serve are empowered to initiate and sustain positive change.
We, the Ateneo Consultants for Organization Development and Empowerment, imbued with Ignatian Values, envision a society of developed individuals by forming sustainable environments conducive for people to flourish. Through the practice of Organization Development (OD), we aim to form the Youth and Youth-Oriented Organizations who will contribute to nation building by initiating positive change within the community.
Our mission is to empower the youth to build and constantly develop their organizations to engage in nation-building. This is achieved through the sharing of the Organization Development (OD) discipline and implementation of contextualized OD services by our trained consultants.
We continuously develop consultants who are knowledgeable about OD, committed to excellence, and rooted in passion for the communities they serve.
CODE Consultants use and apply the concepts of Organization Development within the context of client interventions and internal efforts.
We advocate for organization health within CODE, organizations inside and outside the Loyola Schools, through the use of OD principles.
We offer free-of-charge services and interventions that are tailor-fit to your specific organizational needs.
