Dr. Vincent Anderson, Founder & President
Dr. Vincent Anderson founded V3P in 2014 with a vision to assist Black American youth in the areas of education and mental health. Over time, this mission has evolved into the multi-faceted task of empowering the Black American population to unite as a national community. A native of East St. Louis, Illinois, Dr. Anderson intimately understands the struggles faced by Black American youth. He recalls his own childhood, grappling with a sense of purpose and believing that success was attainable only through sports or entertainment.
Dr. Anderson’s transformative journey began during his time as an undergraduate football player, where he discovered newfound confidence and a broader vision for his future. This pivotal experience motivated him to pursue higher education, ultimately earning a Master’s degree in Sociology and a Doctorate in Community Resources and Development from Arizona State University.
As a trained social researcher and scientist, Dr. Anderson has developed innovative programs to inspire Black American youth to recognize the power of education and its ability to transform lives. He firmly believes education is the key to addressing many of the challenges faced by the Black American community. With unwavering dedication, Dr. Anderson is committed to being a catalyst for change, and working tirelessly to provide solutions and opportunities for the next generation.
