The My Stutter Project

Join a global community!

The My Stutter Project is an online program for young people who stutter, offering a brave and welcoming space to connect with others who truly understand their experiences. Participants build friendships, express themselves creatively, share their personal stories, and develop self-advocacy skills in a supportive, inclusive environment.

This unique worldwide stuttering support program combines community, encouragement, and creative workshops to help participants grow in confidence and communication.

We believe that every young person who stutters has a voice that matters; a voice that deserves to be heard.

The Songwriting Project: Online

The Songwriting Project is SAY’s 8-week online program where kids and teens who stutter (ages 8-18) explore their creativity and imagination through songwriting.

Led by SAY’s Artistic Director Travis Robertson and professional actor Danielle Leneé, and under the guidance of SAY’s Musical Director Everett Bradley and Teaching Artists, this program uses music in many forms (pop, rap, spoken word, etc.) as a vehicle to empower young people’s self-expression. No musical background or experience is required to participate!

This program is free of charge! Participants from around the globe will join peers via Zoom for our Friday or Saturday sessions. All you need is an internet connection. At this time, all sessions will be led in English.

There are two sessions available: Fridays from 6 PM to 7 PM Eastern Time, or Saturdays from 3 PM to 4 PM Eastern Time. The program, which begins on September 25th and 26th, is free of charge and open to all young people who stutter, ages 8-18. Participants from around the globe will join peers via Zoom for our Friday or Saturday sessions.

Manifesto

SAY what’s in your heart.
SAY what’s on your mind.
SAY what you want to say.
SAY the story you want to tell.
SAY the things you want the world to know about you.
SAY the things you want the world to hear.

Because in the end, what you have to SAY, not only says a lot about you, it says a lot about all of us. We’re here to help you SAY the things that shouldn’t go unsaid.
