Meet the Founders
Sign Kind is a non profit organization that was founded in 2022 by 12 year old hearing twin sisters, Reagan and Payton Jackson, after recognizing a need to educate the hearing population (especially children) about deaf culture. Their focus is to share the many benefits of sign language.
Why Sign Kind?
Partner & Help BridgE Gaps!
The Sign Kind Organization (SKO), strives to bridge the gap between hearing and deaf communities by bringing awareness to young people of the importance of recognizing sign, respecting deaf culture, and realizing the need for this beautiful language. In 2019, then 9 year old identical twins, noticed that many hearing children and adults within their neighborhood weren’t familiar with ASL (American Sign Language) and their friend who is deaf was often bullied.
Commitment to Excellence
Our mission is to shine light within local communities that unknowingly keep the deaf/hard of hearing in the dark. Additionally, we encourage people of all ages to learn basic signs that can break seemingly awkward barriers. The Sign Kind Organization (SKO) provides personal insight, tips and techniques to best prepare the hearing with how to become more relational with the deaf/nonverbal/hard of hearing in a fast, fun, and friendly way.
By celebrating and embracing our differences and working collaboratively, we can forge a world where every individual-regardless of their communication needs—has the chance to thrive and reach their fullest potential.
