Young Naturists America (YNA) was a naturist company for younger adults, founded in 2010 by Jordan Blum and Felicity Jones (not their real names). The company closed in October 2017.[1]

History

YNA focused mostly on the 21 to 35 age demographic.[2]

In early 2011 they launched a now defunct iPhone, Android and web app entitled MyNudeWorld which contained information about nudist resorts, groups and organizations world wide.[3] The following year, YNA hosted a Nude Years Eve party.[4]

In March, 2014 YNA held a Nude Night Out event at a bar.[5]


In Spring of 2015, a post announced a plan to emphasize advocacy via the website over event planning, leaving the website as a vehicle for personal points of view, primarily Felicity and Jordan.[citation needed] In February 2016, the site invited visitors to volunteer at future events.[citation needed]

Young Naturists America also features a blog titled Felicity's Blog. Felicity Jones is one of the organization's founders and has participated in many public nudism art projects.

Their website has many articles on the different facets of nudism such as: nudity and religion, behavior etiquette, laws about public nudity and news/information about other nudist events from all over the world. There have been several "first time" stories which touch on YNA's body positivity theme and seem apocryphal. Additionally, the site contains pieces on "social acceptance" themes such as anti-bullying, anti-shaming, and body image.
