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 Animation Project Online

The My Stutter Animation Project is SAY’s 14-week online program where kids and teens who stutter get to create original animations! With the help of our amazing animation expert and Teaching Artists, participants get to create original characters, tell stories, and see their drawings and voices come to life! This is also a great chance to connect with other people who stutter from all around the world. At the end of the program, participants have an original animated short featuring their voices. 

Join us! 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 runs on December 12th and 13th, is free of charge and 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.

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.
