WITHOUT a doubt, One Tree Hill teenager Stephanie Antonopoulos sings the praises of volunteering.
The 14-year-old has been donating her time and talents to the Craniofacial Foundation for the past five years, and is the organisation's youth ambassador.
A talented singer, actor and dancer, Stephanie's volunteer work for the Craniofacial Foundation began when she performed at one of the foundation's conferences, and at annual fundraiser.

"Soon after, (acclaimed craniofacial specialist) Dr. David David asked me to be the youth ambassador," she said. "It was such a privilege, it's just amazing to be part of that foundation."
Stephanie visits young patients in hospital - some of them are international
patients who travel to Australia for craniofacial surgery.
She spends time with them, talks to them, reads to them and sings for them.
Stephanie is also an active fundraiser, helping to raise money for new equipment as well as funds to support families who need help with associated medical costs.
She performs at fundraising events for the foundation, and is also heavily involved in volunteering endeavours through her church, Hope Central at Elizabeth.
Along with other volunteers, Stephanie has visited nursing homes and has helped out at the Elizabeth Special School.
"I get so inspired when I see people give back to the community, so
I just hope I can inspire people by giving back," she said.
For Stephanie, volunteering is a way of life. Along with more than five million other Australians. Volunteering is something that Stephanie plans to continue doing throughout her life.
"I really want to get more and more involved with the Craniofacial Foundation," she said.
Earlier this year, the foundation nominated Stephanie for the Channel
9 Young Achiever Award.
While volunteering is high on Stephanie's priority list, the Year 9
Trinity College student is keen to pursue a career in the entertainment industry after she completes high school.
She is already an established singer, having performed alongside Australian Idol favourites Guy Sebastian and Ricki Lee Coulter, and has had
an acting and singing role in thetelevision series. The Fairies.
