My first overseas exped was as a Raleigh International staff member on a trip to Ghana.
Most staff members had to pay and take pot luck as to what they actually ended up doing but as a canoe coach, and as they desparately needed canoe coaches, I had my expences paid and I knew I would be canoeing.

For me it was attending the Woodlore Fundamental course ... though I reckon that would not be classed under expedition ... (For me it was in a way 
)

I organised a trip to walk round Annapurna in Nepal with my son. We didn't use a tour company and it cost a fraction of what it might have. I enjoyed it so much that I took a group of 6 friends there a couple of years later.
Hi Biddlesby
Like John I got involved with Raleigh International but as a Venturer rather than instructor.
After I got back I joined the RAF and RAF Mountain Rescue and have been lucky enough to go on lots of trips abroad.
Despite the forces getting smaller and being stretched theres still lots of expeditions being organised (in the RAF at least!), Adventurous Training being actively encouraged.
Through MR ive got my Mountain Leader (Summer) and ML(W) so now I can lead trips if they are short of leaders.
Ird always wanted to be involved in the outdoors and ive had some great (and not so great!) trips, this route worked for me.

I really fancy doing one of the Biosphere trips after chatting to Lisa about them last time I was over there.
