Fishing off piers in their Eden Prairie neighborhood, Vick and William Tan noticed an age gap between them and others casting lines. “I thought to myself, why aren’t younger people immersing themselves in the outdoors? Is it because of all the stress from school? Is it because of other reasons?” Vick, 16, said. “That became our mission, which is to get as many people into fishing as possible.” The brothers created Fish Hut, a nonprofit, with the goal of supporting the mental health of youths through fishing. Their principal program puts boxes of fishing supplies for people to borrow in libraries and YMCAs. So far, William, 15, and Vick have created about 50 boxes that are located at various public places in Minnesota, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut (the two attend high school online and split their time between Minnesota and New York).
