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 My Stutter Project this Fall will mirror our in-person programming with the return of the Songwriting Project! This 8-week program, led by SAY’s Artistic Director Travis Robertson and professional actor Danielle Leneé, under the guidance of SAY’s Music Director Everett Bradley, invites participants to explore their imagination through songwriting. SAY’s Teaching Artists and Musicians engage with music in many forms (pop, rap, spoken word, etc.) as a vehicle to empower young people’s self-expression, and no musical background or experience is required to participate.
By the end of the program, participants will not only have an original piece of music that they have created, but their pieces will be produced and recorded! Everyone will have the opportunity to share their work during an online share with friends, family, and our extended SAY community! Our aim is that through music, young people can experience the joy of connection and the confidence that comes from being heard and celebrated just as they are!
This program is free of charge and is open to all young people who stutter, ages 8-18. Participants from all over the globe will join peers via Zoom in our Friday or Saturday sessions. All you need is an internet connection. At this time, all sessions will be led in English. Sessions begin September 26th and 27th.

Enrollment for the Fall session will close on October 11th. Reserve your spot now for a September start to get the full advantage of this program.
