Sunshine’s Youth Junction is about to take part in the world’s biggest baby shower.
The Brave Foundation, a not-for-profit charity for expecting and parenting teens, has recently expanded its services to the west, which includes the baby shower.
Brave Foundation mentor Zen Tebeje said the initiative will run through May across the country.
“The main purpose is for participants to embrace their motherhood,” she said.
“There’s a gold coin donation to participate, so all money raised across the country will go towards teenage expecting parents to help put them on track with things like employment, education and things like that.
“It’s really all about supporting young mums aged 13-25.”
Ms Tebeje said there will be a number of fun activities and services available.
“We’re going to celebrate mums,” she said.
“We’ll have games, lots of food, a few speeches and people sharing their experiences.”
The shower will be held at The Youth Junction, Sunshine from 11.30am on May 30.
Ms Tebeje encouraged everyone to attend and support the cause.
“Everyone is welcome. We’re fairly new out here in the west of Melbourne and we’re looking to engage with the local community,” she said.
Workplaces are also encouraged to hold their own shower to help the cause.
