Stuttering Association for the Young

The Stuttering Association for the Young (SAY) envisions a world where every voice matters and every young person who stutters has the time and space they need to speak so they can reach their potential and thrive. Nearly 5% of all young people experience the disability of stuttering and many suffer from bullying and alienation leading to major mental health challenges. The TowerCares grant will support programs that allow children ages 5-18 years to explore a wide variety of approaches to visual art and storytelling. They are then given the opportunity to present their creations to build confidence. Funds will be used to provide the program at no cost for 30 children and to help purchase art supplies.
