Anyone with strong ethics and morals can become a goodwill ambassador. Goodwill ambassadors are normally designated by a city, state or national government official or the head-of-government.

There are many types of goodwill ambassadors and they work at a variety of levels both informally and formally. The United Nations has over 400 goodwill ambassadors that represent its purposes and promote specific values using celebrities and well-known noteworthy public figures through 16 different divisions of the organization.

At the professional and international level goodwill ambassadors receive letters patent and a letter of credence from the organization or state that appoints them.
