A Christian can attend any Jewish service including Yom Kippur. However, many synagogues require a ticket for their High Holy Day services. These are purchased before the holiday. So be sure you either acquire one or attend a synagogue that does not require tickets.
I recommend that you also attempt to contact someone about proper attire. Men generally wear a suit and are required to wear some kind of kippah or hat (a symbol of reverence to God). Women typically wear long skirts or dresses, that do not have a low neckline, especially during a Yontif (holiday). Some married women also cover their hair but it depends on the type of synagogue you're planning to attend.
