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.
The My Stutter Project Fall 2025 season begins in September, and enrollment will open soon!
Sessions meet weekly via Zoom, with two group options: the Midweek Group on Wednesdays and the Weekend Group on Fridays. Over eight weeks, participants will join peers from around the globe to explore their creativity, share their journeys, strengthen their voices, and form lasting friendships—no matter where they live.
The My Stutter Project 2024
Over 8 weeks, this program offers weekly sessions that blend creative arts, personal storytelling, and skill-building to help each participant find their voice in a supportive, nurturing environment.
The program will culminate in a powerful online Open Mic event, where participants will showcase their artistic work and presentations to an audience of friends and family. This final gathering will celebrate their talents and stories while reinforcing the connections and confidence they have built throughout the program. The success of the My Stutter Project continues to mark a significant step in SAY’s mission to provide accessible, impactful support for young people who stutter, wherever they are in the world.
Led by accomplished educators from across SAY programs like Camp SAY, Confident Voices, SAY: DC, and SAY: Australia, The My Stutter Project curriculum is rooted in a deep understanding of the needs of young people who stutter. We believe in using the Arts to ignite the power of deep listening, connection, support, and self-expression. We are committed to creating a fun, inspiring virtual environment where participants feel empowered to express themselves and have as much time as they need to speak.
We believe that every young person who stutters has a voice that matters; a voice that deserves to be heard.
This program is open to all young people who stutter, ages 8-18. There is no charge to participate in The My Stutter Project – all you need is an internet connection. At this time, all sessions will be led in English.
