One of the best things I have done with my life was to join our local Masonic Lodge. It not only helped me become a better man but a better father and husband.  I have left a link below to additional information that might help you more than I can. PLEASE TAKE TIME TO CHECK INTO IT!! No mason will ever ask you to join a lodge,  YOU MUST ASK A MASON TO JOIN !! I worked with a man for years who was a mason, I would talk to him about the local lodge and the good works they would perform, I thought there was a reason he didn't ask me to join, one day at work I asked if he would help me join. He told me he thought I was never going to ask.
