In order to develop programs and projects in the areas of education, social, economic, and sustainable development, health and social communication, the Legion of Good Will (LBV) establishes partnerships with agents of the main sectors of society (government; companies that are socially and environmentally responsible; international agencies; academia; community associations; and other civil society organizations). The participants of this type of initiative all have in common a spirit of cooperation and commitment to Solidarity for the well-being of their fellow citizen.
In 1994, the LBV was associated to the United Nations Department of Public Information (DPI). In 1999, it was the first Brazilian organization to obtain general consultative status at the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). In more than half a century of existence, the ideal of Good Will also inspires the work of the LBV of Argentina, of Bolivia, of Brazil, of the United States, of Paraguay, of Portugal, and of Uruguay, the LBV of each country has fraternally advocated for its causes in order to contribute to the implementation of international public policies. In 2000, it became a member of the Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations (CONGO) based in Vienna, Austria.
With the objective of strengthening the voice of Latin American civil society in issues tackled at the UN, especially at ECOSOC, the Legion of Good Will of the United States, in 2010, inaugurated its new representative office in New York. The New York office also has the task of mobilizing New York citizens and members of the international community to volunteer in the Organization’s socio-educational programs and projects.
