About

The Development Society is the home organization of the Development Studies majors of the Ateneo de Manila University. It aims to nurture its members to become development catalysts, in accordance with the Atenean value of becoming persons for others. The organization provides a venue for DS Students for socio-eco-political and environmental awareness in lieu of development: What are the problems, the facts? What is being done? What has and should be done? And in a sense, present concrete programs for students to be active players in the ongoing process of changing the world, for the better.

VISION

MISSION

It is our mission to increase awareness on developmental issues by creating linkages between a wide spectrum of non-government organizations (NGOs), development agencies and the Ateneo community thereby facilitating opportunities for social involvement.
