UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors
Shining a spotlight on the needs and aspirations of the world's children
Goodwill Ambassadors are among the most recognizable faces of UNICEF. As prominent personalities from the worlds of art, music, film, sport and more, they play a critical role in shining a light on the challenges children face around the globe. Goodwill Ambassadors volunteer their time to raise awareness and mobilize support, helping UNICEF to reach the most disadvantaged children and adolescents with lifesaving help and hope.
UNICEF was one of the first organizations to enlist Goodwill Ambassadors. In 1954, Danny Kaye pioneered the role as Ambassador-at-Large, paving the way for Audrey Hepburn, Sir Roger Moore and the distinguished roster we boast today.
