In this space, everyone has as much time as they need to speak, and everyone is encouraged to share their creative, unique, and extraordinary ideas and imagination. We invite participants to connect with other young people who stutter and make original artistic creations in an environment where it is really, REALLY okay to stutter!
The Confident Voices Fall 2025 season will begin in September. Enrollment will open soon!
SAY’s Confident Voices program is a free, innovative weekend program for young people who stutter, ages 8-18, in New York City. It is designed to encourage young people who stutter to develop the self-confidence and courage they need to communicate more effectively, build a sense of community, and establish rewarding, long-lasting friendships.
This project-based creative arts program helps kids and teens who stutter develop essential skills and tools, providing a unique forum for them to express their thoughts, ideas, and dreams freely.
Under the leadership of SAY’s Artistic Director and person who stutters, Travis Robertson, alongside professional actor and SAY’s Programming Associate Danielle Leneé, and guided by expert Teaching Artists and musicians, participants will explore a wide variety of creative forms—including music, visual art, movement, poetry, creative writing, and more. From there, participants will collaborate in small groups to create and polish an original piece.
Before joining SAY, our son wasn’t fully participating in school. After a few months at SAY, his teachers noticed a big difference. Now, he’s beaming with confidence. What a change."
SAY offers comprehensive programming options to kids & teens who stutter (ages 5-18), both locally in NYC and nationally.
