I would not recommend screen printing yourself.

Screen printing can be rewarding to learn but requires a lot of investment and equipment to anything well.

You can quite easily do a single, or maybe two color print, no bigger than "11 x "8 with a hobby kit for about 80 dollars, but anything special, like large or full shirt prints, multicolor, special dyes, etc. will require professional services.

Your best bet is to find a well reviewed printer in your area.

Most printers maintain their own stock of blanks to print on, usually AA, gilidan, hanes atleast - but you can usually bring your own garment to print on.

If you're bring your own garment to print on be aware that natural fibres will hold pigment much better than synthetic, e.g. cotton vs polyester or nylon.

Typical fees for typical plastisol or sublimation screen printing are:
$10 - $20 setup per screen, this per color.
$1-2 dollars per color per shirt, + extra fee if you use a special ink (sublimation)

For darker garments you'll also have to pay for an additional screen for an undercoat.

alternatively, most printers also provide direct to garment printing, which is kind of link an inkjet printer for clothing. This is much cheaper and well suited for smaller runs - screen printing set up fees makes small runs really pricey.
