Aktive Minds Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is dedicated to providing high quality programs and resources to families in the Detroit area, while actively working to eliminate barriers for youth participation and increase community engagement!

Founder, Sarah Deramo began her outreach efforts in 2020 with an activity called JUST PLAY SATURDAYS in the park. This effort was to keep kids active and engaged. From there she has set out to make sure that every child is given a fun, safe, loving space to create childhood memories, and parents are given the support to make that happen!

The AMF Basketball Program began partnership with the Detroit Parks & Recreation in Spring 2022 to reach more kids in the community and better fulfill its mission. Moving in the Summer 2024, AMF will be partnering with the University Liggett Schools to enhance their efforts!
