I basically do community outreach like attending neighborhood events, various assignments, and policy discussion. We have a video conference every week where we discuss assignments we have to do or hear from people in the Senate office. As examples, I went to a board meeting about Sea Grant and will go to a neighborhood board meeting. For assignments, we had to gather feedback on the sites of various Senators to improve our own and find organizations that do work in our community. I really like it. All the other interns are really smart and passionate. It is incredibly interesting to learn how the office and politics work. We got to see his office and he had different pictures signed by Obama. It’s pretty cool.
