By and large, only adult men (over 21) may become Masons.
There are various 'auxillary groups', including some aimed at youth.
You have DeMolay for boys 13-21 and Rainbow and Job's Daughters for girls 13-20. To join Rainbow or Job's Daugther's, you must be related to a member of the Masons or Eastern Star. I don't think such a requirement exists for DeMolay.
Also, there is Acacia, a college fraternity for Masons and sons of Masons.

Most states require a man to be at least 21 to petition Freemasonry, but there are some states that will allow men as young as 18 or 19 to become members.
Masonic affiliation is no longer required for membership into Acacia, though many Acacia chapters are sponsored by local Masonic lodges.
