Building on the success of last fall’s youth programs fair that drew hundreds of Downtown parents and dozens of service providers, Community Board 1 is organizing another youth fair on Wednesday, March 26.

The fair offers parents a chance to learn about the wide range of youth programs in the neighborhood and to meet the people who run them.

It will include about 30 organizations and small businesses that offer everything from child care to recreational and arts activities to tutoring.

Among the participants will be Battery Park City Day Nursery, Chambers Pottery, Tribeca Clayworks, Manhattan Youth, Manhattan Children’s Theater, Park Preschool, the Jewish Community Project of Lower Manhattan and City Kids.

“It brings everyone together in the same room,” said Paul Hovitz, chair of CB1’s Youth and Education Committee. “Parents and service providers can speak to one another, and can also network among themselves.”

“We’re encouraging parents of teen-agers to come, as well as parents of toddlers and younger children,” said Jessica Fernandez, who is coordinating the event for CB1.

The fair is from 4:30 to 7 p.m. in the community room of the Southbridge Towers residential complex, 90 Beekman St.
