Just drop in. Guests can attend for free and the groups tend to be very friendly and welcoming. See what it's like, and then ask to join. The membership fee varies per club but tends to be very reasonable. You'll get the Toastmasters manual, which contains ten speeches for you to give (with no deadline - so it's very flexible).
Once you've joined, if you aren't doing a speech you may be assigned other roles - Evaluator, Timekeeper, Grammarian, etc - which are designed to help the meeting run smoothly, help you practice a bit of public speaking, and help the rest of the group.
There is also Table Topics - where you get assigned a random topic to talk about and have to come up with something to say with zero preparation. Participation is optional. It's scary but definitely helps you get over fears of speaking in public.
After joining a gym and starting a business, joining Toastmasters was one of the best things I've done in life. You should definitely check it out!
