MSHAPE is a lounge for gay, bisexual, queer, questioning and trans men of Tucson. MSHAPE is promoting a greater awareness of men’s health issues and building a stronger more supportive community. Programming is community-driven, with a core group of local volunteers meeting regularly to provide direction and feedback.

In January 2007, SAAF began using the Mpowerment model as the foundation for its programming for MSM. Mpowerment is a community-building program centered on the theory of diffusion of innovations. Programming is community-driven, with a core group of local volunteers meeting regularly to provide direction and feedback. In addition, MSHAPE utilizes health education, targeted outreach, and community event coordination components in its overall program design.
