Become a Goodwill Ambassador Advocate in Your Community, for a Cause or in Another Country. Get Your ID and Certificate.
As an association made up of Goodwill Ambassadors we needed a program whereby ordinary people could make it their mission in life to become a goodwill ambassador and be recognized for their deeds professionally among their peers.
The Goodwill Ambassador Certification engages local personalities, entertainers, community leaders, and our role models to promote goodwill, peace, and humanitarian action through the empowerment of Goodwill Ambassadors worldwide. The project involves establishing local chapters, certifying individuals as Goodwill Ambassadors, issuing credentials, and providing them with the necessary training and resources to advocate for causes effectively. Those who complete the program are also recognized in our network with an organization domain email address.

There are two main avenues to become a certified Goodwill Ambassador:
Establish a Local Chapter: This program focuses on establishing a local chapter, office, or branch of the Goodwill Ambassador organization. Each chapter or group can have a different focus from tourism to community development.
It involves securing approval from local authorities, forming a founding unincorporated association, drafting bylaws, filing articles of incorporation, and developing a mission and vision with a defined purpose.
This process is ideal for individuals passionate about building a community of Goodwill Ambassadors and creating a platform for collective advocacy and community action on issues that matter to the residents of a region.
Individual Certification: This program certifies individuals as Goodwill Ambassadors, enabling them to advocate for causes online or in real life, which today has become one in the same. It includes a comprehensive training program covering topics such as:
The role and responsibilities of a Goodwill Ambassador
Effective communication and advocacy strategies
Ethical and professional conduct
Global issues and sustainable development goals
Upon completion of the training program, individuals receive a certification recognizing their status as Goodwill Ambassadors. This certification enables individuals to advocate for causes independently or in collaboration with established organizations. In some cases certification is waived for members that are already professionally engaged. It can take from six to twelve months to complete the training program and is based in the social media channels.
