The childen are divided into the following age groups to enable them to cover content suitable for their ages and understanding: The idea behind CREW is to provide children with access to the airwaves in order for them to express themselves, to produce material relevant to themselves and their peers, and ultimately to become more critical media consumers. (CREW and media education)

The children and youth represent almost every group of youth in South Africa -black, white, muslim, christian, refugees, middle and working class. The children are encouraged to take on topics that are of interest to them, with a combination of serious and light issues ranging from sharing cooking recipes to abuse and racism. Crew contributes to the children directly involved and those listening by leading them away from an attitude of indifference so they grow up to be conscious, independent thinking adults.
