Depending what you call “serving the community”. If you want to become a social worker, your advanced degree should include social work and/or psychology, and you could integrate with the social services in your area.
If serving your community means working with the local government, i.e. politics – you might want to first have a taste of what it’s like to work in this environment – it is very different than education and involves a lot of hot air.
To avoid disillusion, try and volunteer in the offices of the party you support, and pursue an admin job to begin with. It’s a great way to know more about the ropes and the insides of any organisation.

First of all, you need to narrow down the specific area in government you want to work in. Once you've decided that, look for what they've asked for previously from similar roles that are advertised. See if you already have the skills. If you don't, send your CV speculatively on the hope that those skills may be optional. Also, since you're considering planning on getting another advanced degree, ensure that the qualification you are getting will be in line with the role you're trying to get.
If you happen to know anyone already in the field you are interested in, you can contact them and talk to them about what you're trying to achieve and see if they have any specific suggestions about the peculiarity of that particular field.
By the way, this website lists local government jobs - you never know, it may be useful - LGjobs.com.
All the best.
