General responsibilities include: office management, constituent relations, community outreach, casework, correspondence writing, memo preparation, and conducting research.

The office is also prepared to cater to individuals' specific interests by providing them with special projects, when applicable. Interns will also be given the opportunity to attend community events, political gatherings and policy forums when the opportunity arises.
