Joyful Travels 4 U | Application Preview
Joyful Travels 4 U is seeking government grants to expand its business and support ongoing operational costs, particularly in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. The funding aims to facilitate the creation of a virtual call center for up to seven agents, providing them with necessary equipment and training to succeed, which empowers them to take control of their financial futures.
The business's long-term vision includes a workforce initiative targeted at single parents over the next five years. The pandemic has highlighted the potential of remote work, allowing parents to earn income from home while spending time with their children, thus alleviating the financial burden of childcare.
Grant approval would enable Joyful Travels 4 U to give back to local communities, addressing issues such as opioid addiction and other forms of substance abuse by providing hope and opportunities for individuals who feel marginalized. Despite existing competition from local organizations offering similar services, Joyful Travels 4 U differentiates itself by fostering a supportive, family-like environment for its clients, ensuring they feel seen and valued.

Funding Usage
If granted, this funding would be used to expand my business as well as supplement daily operational expenses. My goal is to recover from the devastating effects of the Covid 19 global pandemic., while simultaneously empowering others to be able to generate income from home. This has been crucial for many businesses during the pandemic for sustaining and generating employment. I would also like to pursue developing a virtual call center environment for up to 7 agents. These agents would be provided with equipment including software and complementary training to be set up for success and in charge of their financial futures.

Business Plan
My overarching goal is to launch a workforce initiative geared especially towards single parents in the next five years. If there has been one positive out of this pandemic it has been in the fact that so many people learned how to work and interact remotely. So many people learned how to utilize technology, both out of necessity and convenience. With daycare being scarce and expensive it also allows parents to generate income from home while spending time with their children. Likewise, many are able to divert income that would have been subsidizing child care to other sorely needed areas. Enabling me to give back to my surrounding communities would help address and possibly minimize opioid addiction and other substance abuse. Many individuals that turn to this method of coping methods do so because they often feel hopeless.

Self Identified Competition
Lorain County JVS Lorain County Community College Lorain County Job and Family Services Although all of these organizations that I mentioned are noble causes and have done many positive things for the community, most individuals that are serviced by these entities often feel minimalized, rejected, and marginalized for needing their services. My organization is different because I can both relate to and empathize with the individuals that I would be servicing. I make it my mission to make everyone feel like they are family instead of a number.
