Seth Clarin<\/p>\n Seth Clarin<\/p>\n
Miami Palmetto High School senior Seth Clarin loves to give back to the community. He\u2019s learning a lot about giving back in a meaningful way being a part of the Temple Beth Am Social Justice Teen Fellowship.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe go on a service project every month,\u201d he says. \u201cWe went to Guatemala We built an oven for a local resident there who didn\u2019t have as much. We also built a toilet\/irrigation system for farmers up in the mountains.\u201d<\/p>\n
They spent three days doing community service and interacting with the children in the community.<\/p>\n
Locally, they went to Lotus House and served food. They have helped with Thanksgiving meals.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe service project, there is a lesson always mixed into it,\u201d he says. \u201cLotus House was a lesson about gender equality. We\u2019ve done things in the African American community. To show how closely Jews worked with the NAACP during the civil rights movement. To focus on everyone being treated fairly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Junior year was a busy year for him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a founder of a charity raising money for a pediatric brain tumor foundation.\u201d<\/p>\n
The charity is the BranD Initiative, named after his cousin who passed away from a pediatric brain tumor.<\/p>\n
The charity has only been operational for a few months. They raise money through donations.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor something you sell, or something you do, you donate x amount of money,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s been recruiting companies and businesses to sign up.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m starting off with the ones that I know,\u201d he says. \u201cI bring it up to them. It\u2019s a great cause and going to a good thing. People love to see money going to a good thing because I haven\u2019t had a no yet. It\u2019s really fulfilling trying to honor my cousin\u2019s legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n
He\u2019s also planning to put together an event to raise more money.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrandon adored basketball,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m trying to see if I can do some sort of basketball event and tell his story. It\u2019s important to tell the story.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brandon was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2018. He was in remission for more than four years but then it came back. He passed away in 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a whole,\u201d he says. \u201cWe\u2019ve raised $7,000 and we\u2019ve been active maybe three months.\u201d<\/p>\n
When he\u2019s not fundraising, Clarin spends his time as a professional photographer, shooting sports events.<\/p>\n
\u201cI shoot for the University of Miami football team,\u201d he says. \u201cI shoot for professional athletes. I shoot for companies. I have access to every home game. I got to every practice in Coral Gables.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also attends every media opportunity he can.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love to learn and prepare for my future,\u201d he says. \u201cJournalism is a very cool path, and I hope I can keep it in my life somehow.\u201d<\/p>\n
He started taking pictures when he joined the school newspaper. He\u2019s gone from taking pictures to a social media interview role.<\/p>\n
\u201cI get a new interview out once or twice every two weeks,\u201d he says. \u201cAs often as I can.\u201d<\/p>\n
He\u2019s also taken on a social media role for the football team.<\/p>\n
\u201cI make videos and content for them, pictures, studio sessions, I did their media day,\u201d he says. \u201cI take pictures and send hype out about the team.\u201d<\/p>\n
He\u2019s doing a similar job for the administration, as a social media interview host.<\/p>\n
