Do exactly what I tell my teens to do. Figure out what you want to do. Go hang out with those who already do it. Its not about spending money or age; it is about being useful to those who need passionate people in their field. Time is your greatest asset in this regard. Be known, be available, and good things will happen.

I always use the first lightbot as an introduction to functions. The best part is when one student figures out the concept I encourage the class to 'cheat' from each other. I have them show each other the concept of functions. Its great fun to explain to the class that not only are they learning core computer science concepts but also that it is OK to build on others ideas and work together. Concepts that the schools to their best to knock out of our children for the sake of independent evaluation.

It's your enthusiasm that they will pick up. More so than any resource you can direct them towards. It's your attitude and charisma which will affect their attitude towards coding.
At that age LightBot is the best resource: http://www.addictinggames.com/puzzle-games/lightbot.jsp
