Celebrities have been a vital and unique part of UNICEF's history since 1953, when celebrated actor Danny Kaye was named UNICEF's first Goodwill Ambassador. Since then, many others have joined UNICEF to fight for the survival and healthy development of children worldwide.
UNICEF USA works directly with its own Ambassadors — leaders in the entertainment industry, representing the fields of film, television, music, sports and beyond — including Sofia Carson, Selena Gomez, Téa Leoni, Jeremy Lin, Lucy Liu, Alyssa Milano and P!NK.
