MY Kids TV is intended to be a 5 year program that takes 10–15 children each year and teaches them the various aspects of developing their own TV program. Instructors, mentors, and counselors nurture the children 's academic and social growth as they research and develop topics that are relevant to their everyday life.

The program will measure the academic and technical proficiency of all participants. Each Child’s reading, writing, and comprehension skills will be measured and compared to the National Average for their grade level at the beginning of the program. The children will be evaluated again for improvement, upon completion of the program. Children will also gain the technical knowledge of developing a TV program, such as operating the cameras and other video equipment.
