Earl Pardo serves as a partner for Will It Launch and leads the company’s product sourcing group in identifying products with the potential to become As Seen on TV hits. Beyond his professional obligations, Earl Pardo supports community organizations such as Mission Adelante.
Mission Adelante helps non-English speaking immigrants integrate into the community through the English as a second language (ESL) program.
Designed to aid adult immigrants in finding employment and successfully integrating into American culture, the ESL program provides support in navigating the difficulties of learning English. It focuses on establishing a high degree of relatability and emphasizes verbal practice through multiple levels of instruction. Participants work with a volunteer conversation partner, enabling them to develop comradery while building their English language skills.
Volunteers are not required to possess any specific expertise or preparation to assist with the program. Additionally, they do not need to speak a second language. Volunteer sessions occur on Tuesday or Thursday nights over a 12-week trimester.
