Join Sokol
For over 120 years, Sokol San Francisco has been bringing together, supporting, and celebrating Northern California's Czech and Slovak/American communities. Rooted in tradition but looking towards the future, Sokol SF is looking forward to new members joining our community.
We are proud to be an active and engaging group that organizes events and activities for our members. In the spirit of the founders of Sokol, we also organize activities centered around physical fitness. These include monthly hikes or outdoor activities as well as more organized special events. During the global COVID-19 pandemic, we moved our events online and hosted a successful speaker series, interactive baking demonstrations, lively member happy hours, and exercise sessions. We will continue these events into 2025 and would love to have you join us.

New member dues are due with your application.
The $10 processing fee for new members has been waived for 2025.
