Nick Weig

Nick grew up in Oregon and Washington, where he developed a passion for the outdoors at an early age. Whether it was climbing the towering peaks of the Cascade Mountains, or walking the vast expanse of pacific coastline, Nick and his family always made time to get out into nature, a habit that has continued throughout his life.

Nick earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Reed College in Portland, Oregon in 2020. During his time there, he worked for an environmental education organization as a program coordinator, building and guiding outdoor programs for children and adults alike. After graduation, Nick worked as a Campaign Director on several political campaigns across the country, building grassroots coalitions to fight for public lands and conservation of natural resources. 

As the Programs Coordinator for the National Park Trust, Nick works to support the Director of Strategic Partnerships and Communications in developing high-quality programs that promote military and college engagement with the outdoors. He is also involved in the planning and organization of Kids to Parks Day, the ParkPassport App, and Grant Management related activities.
