This article documents the experiences of adolescent girls in selected towns in Northern Nigeria participating in care groups of 10–15 trained volunteer community-based health educators. Their experiences were captured through focus group discussions and key informant interviews. It highlights key learning points (barriers, boosters, and best practices) for International Medical Corps staff planning to include adolescents in care groups, and the wider food security/nutrition community to more effectively tailor programs to include adolescent girls and meet their unique needs.
