HELP ALANA STUDY IN SPAIN

Hi! I’m Alana Maroevich, a San Francisco high school sophomore, and I have an amazing opportunity this summer.

I’ve been accepted into my dream Spanish Language & Culture immersion program in Barcelona through CIEE! You can check it out here: CIEE Barcelona

For four weeks, I’ll live with a host family, take Spanish classes, and fully immerse myself in the culture—the best way to become fluent!

Here's where you can Help

The program costs $8,500, covering flights, housing, meals, and activities. Through teacher recommendations, good grades, and application essays I was granted a $1,000 educational scholarship. Now I am working hard to raise the remaining $7,500 by babysitting, doing part-time work, and organizing fundraisers.

I’m passionate about language and education—I tutor kids in Spanish and spent 100 hours last summer in Spain volunteering 100+ hours teaching.

This trip will help me deepen my skills, connect with the culture, and give back even more to my community.

Every single donation, no matter the size, brings me closer to making this dream happen! If you can donate, I’d be beyond grateful.

To Say Thank You…

I want to show my appreciation, so I’m offering special rewards for donors:

• $50 (Bronze):

A postcard from Barcelona with a fun fact or personal experience.

A digital photo album with highlights from my trip.

• $100 (Silver):

• Everything from above +

• A personalized Spanish video message using new phrases I learn.

• $250 (Gold): Everything above + • A small souvenir from Spain (keychain, local candy, or handmade trinket).

A private Zoom call after the trip to share experiences, photos, and insights.

• A customized playlist of Spanish music I discover in Spain.

Even if you can’t donate, sharing this with friends, and family and on social media would mean the world to me!

Thank you so much for your support—I can’t wait to take you along on this journey!
