FRIENDS: The National Association for Young People Who Stutter
We are the only 501(c)(3) national non-profit organization dedicated solely to empowering young people who stutter and their families.
FRIENDS celebrates 25 years of providing support and community for young people who stutter and their families in Washington D.C. on July 21-23, 2022. Connect with kids, parents, siblings, and SLPs all hoping for the same unforgettable time as you. When you leave on Sunday, we are positive you will tell your new FRIENDS how happy you are that you decided to come to a FRIENDS convention, followed by a ‘See you next year!’ An important component to the FRIENDS convention is shared meal times as well as social gatherings in the evenings. Please take advantage of our tween, teen and adult hospitality rooms. You can expect this to be an amazing three-days of laughter, education, tears, support, hugs, and FRIENDSHIP.
