Coelo Public Service

We're proud of our commitment to organizational good citizenship.

As a company, we adhere to living wage covenants, contribute annually to a range of social and environmental programs, and perform pro bono services for worthy organizations.

We provide mentorship to rising software developers.

Coelo is in its third year sponsoring and guiding senior computer science concentrators at Oregon State University in a capstone design project, an emergency services planning simulator. Coelo's sponsored teams have captured first prize in the Computer Science Division of Oregon State's Engineering Expo for two consecutive years, and participants in its teams are now successfully contributing to professional software development teams.

We're also proud that our members individually contribute to the common good by:

  • Working on sustainable building projects in a Zapotec community in southern Oaxaca.
  • Serving as a volunteer firefighter and emergency medical technician since 1979.
  • Organizing and leading a volunteer-run recycling center.
  • Providing basic treatment in a free community medical clinic.
