What Stuttering Association for the Young Inc does
Mission
The stuttering association for the young ("say") is a national non-profit organization that empowers, educates, and supports young people who stutter and the world that surrounds them. Through summer and weekend camps, speech therapy, and creative expression, say builds a community of acceptance where young people who stutter gain confidence and communication skills. To ensure access to its vital programs, say offers free and sliding scale tuition to families in need.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Summer camp programming - camp say is an aca-accredited sleep-away camp for kids who stutter, their young family members, and friends, ages 8-18. Camp provides a safe, supportive environment where kids who stutter can kick back, relax, and have fun, while discovering new interests and talents. They take on exciting activities and challenges that expand their comfort zones and build up their self-confidence. They leave camp feeling ready to take on challenges at home and participate more fully in school, not letting stuttering hold them back. Says signature arts education programs are offered at camp alongside traditional outdoor activities.

Therapy is individualized and designed to best meet each childs specific needs. Sessions are centered on the child, parents, and caregivers and their goals, allowing time to practice strategies to make communication more confident while providing education, support, and counseling. School age children & teens: say speech therapy works to help children and teens better communicate through stutter-affirming practices. With the combination of speech therapy and stuttering support, young people can improve their self-confidence, develop more positive attitudes about speaking, reduce negative effects of stuttering, and reach their own personal goals as joyful, confident communicators.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $703k to $1.7M (+142%).
