In addition to the envisioned economic transformation, the IALR must also help facilitate a cultural transformation. IALR Outreach programs provide the citizens of Southside Virginia the opportunity to participate in this economic transition. Emphasizing the importance of science, math, and computer literacy, IALR Outreach programs include both youth and adults. Southside Virginia's people are diverse in background, skills, and interests requiring IALR Outreach efforts to take on many forms.
