Building a culture of trust and accountability must be rooted in Christian values to foster personal growth, integrity, and trust.

Activities like role-playing scenarios and trust walks are suggested to help students practice accountability and build trust. Addressing failure with grace is crucial, seeing it as a learning opportunity rather than an endpoint.
