Voices Unbound

We are a resource to create awareness for children who stutter and connect them to other kids their age who can be their mentors who have the same problem. We teach them  techniques to help them improve their speech and let them know that this speech impediment is not a significant problem in their life

Our Mission

Hello! We’re “Voices Unbound,” the first-of-its-kind initiative made by kids, run by kids, and for kids. We’re here to shine a light on stuttering and speech challenges, offering a helping hand to those who face these hurdles. Our belief? Everyone deserves to speak confidently and be heard.

About us

Why Do We Exist? Niharika’s Personal Journey

I’ve lived with stuttering all my life. It’s been a journey of ups and downs, with speech therapy sessions and learning to cope with anxiety and stress, which often trigger my stuttering. Despite the challenges, I’ve found ways to manage my stuttering, finding strength in resources and a firm belief that stuttering won’t hold me back.

I started “Voices Unbound” because I know what it’s like to feel dismayed or lose confidence because of stuttering. I’ve been there. I want to reach out to kids who are going through similar struggles and let them know they are not alone. There’s nothing wrong with them. Together, we can achieve great things and help each other find our voices. It’s about creating a space where we can all feel confident and supported.

Our Three Main Goals

01

Raising Awareness

We're all about spreading awareness of stuttering. We aim to educate and create a supportive community that understands and empathizes.

02

Providing Resources

We offer a treasure trove of helpful tools and information for kids dealing with speech difficulties. Think of it as your go-to guide for support and advice.

03

Mentorship Program

This is where the magic happens. We connect kids who stutter with peers who've been in their shoes. These mentors are more than just guides; they're friends of a similar age group, who share their journey to help others find their voice. And what's more – our mentorship program connects kids from every corner of the world. Our first program is launching between kids in California and India.

We welcome you into our Mentorship program.
