He will be judging VS’ Pink With Purpose Project while taking part in activations for Mental Health Awareness Month in May.
VS Pink’s CEO Amy Hauk explained that Barnet is “such a positive role model for teens and young adults.” Barnet took to Instagram to share the news: “[I] am honored to be joining VS Pink as a brand ambassador! I will helping to launch new styles in their gender free collection while also supporting their initiatives in empowering young adults and mental health awareness.” He continued: “I am beyond excited to share some of these new styles but I am even more grateful that I can be a part of a good cause. I wish mental health was more of a focus when I was a teenager and my hope is that we can reach those young adults who need to be heard and supported most.”
