About

Doug Wright III, founded Building Community Bridges in 2017, after coming to a point in his life where he was ready to give back to the community in a way that could change the lives of the underserved youth. Doug was raised in Detroit, MI. He turned to the streets at the young age of 12, to be able to provide for himself and his 2 younger sisters. After years of heartache, violence, drugs, and crime, Douglas left Detroit eventually finding his way to Jefferson City for a new beginning. Starting over was rough for Doug, with the label of convicted felon and having a family to provide for, he did what he knew would provide. He went back to distributing drugs and his decisions landed him in prison, where he served 2 years. In those 2 years Doug experienced some life changing moments, one being the death of his mother, which motivated him to change himself and help others do the same. Upon his release in 2014, Doug took action on a different way of life. Later he opened Doug's Auto Detailing, where he offers jobs to people coming from prison, who would usually struggle finding jobs due to their criminal background. In 2017, he founded Building Community Bridges, to help change the youth and break the cycle that he and many other children suffer from.
