Head Staff: Have you ever taken a summer Shlichus position that you thought was going to be great and ended not being to your liking?
Have You Ever Had an Expectation That Was Not Met?

CGI worldwide is an enormous and growing organization. Many of the themes are the same and the CGI spirit is trademark. There are so many camps in so many locations across the globe. Which group to go with, what position will be offered, and what are the perks, are some of the deciding factors that go into my decision.
The big question is: How do I know I am being hired by a camp director who will treat me like a mentch and value me as a capable person.
Shmuly Rothman shot a video on this for you, outlining 5 questions to ask your camp director. From his experience, asking these 5 questions will give you a very clear picture of what the job is and how you will be treated.

last summer i worked in a CGI and i can tell you that i obviously did not do enough research, or the camp didn’t do enough on their staff. It was a terrible experience. the camp did not go on any trips and we were stuck on site the whole day and had to entertain the kids ourselves.
the head consler was terrible i was bassicually taking her place.
we did no activities after camp i was bored out of my mind.
some camps really treat there counslers terribley.

some people spell terribly.

The sociological structure of the Chabad community is one that demands an super dedication. Many Shluchim mistakenly take that as an excuse to be abusive towards those that come and work for them. The girls had a healthy response by bonding together and realizing at which Shluchim they will be treated fairly etc. I’m glad to see that buchurim are now directed and encouraged to do their due diligence prior to blindly committing to something rather then feeling guilty for even asking for the basics, bec (as in some cases) they are taught that “es past nisht far a bucher” etc.
