Are both examples correct or is there only one way to write it?
The program is for people from the age of fifteen to twenty-one.
OR
The program is for people from the ages of fifteen to twenty-one.
To me ages (plural) makes sense because I am talking about more than one age but I am not sure if it's correct.

In your example, only the singular is possible. A range of ages ("from age 1 to age 2") starts at one age (singular) and ends at another. We can also talk about the period between a pair of ages (plural).
The expression "from the age of fifteen to the age of twenty-one" can be written without the second occurrence of "from the age of", as in your example.
