(Participants who developed grade III or IV toxicity which was not presumed by the treating physician to be medically significant should be discussed with the study chair or co-chair)
Monoclonal antibody treatment: Participants must have received their last dose at least four weeks prior to study registration
Radiation: Participants must have: had their last fraction of local irradiation to the primary tumor, craniospinal irradiation (> 24 Gy) or total body irradiation > 12 weeks prior to registration; investigators are reminded to review potentially eligible cases to confirm disease progression and avoid confusion with pseudo-progression
Bone marrow transplant: Participants must be: >= 6 months since allogeneic bone marrow transplant prior to registration; >= 3 months since autologous bone marrow/stem cell prior to registration
Corticosteroids: Participants who are receiving steroids must be on a stable or decreasing dose for at least 1 week prior to registration

Platelet count >= 100,000/mm^3 (transfusion independent, defined as not receiving platelet transfusions for at least 7 days prior to enrollment)
Hemoglobin >= 8 m/dL (may be supported)
International normalized ratio (INR) =< 1.5

Creatinine clearance or radioisotope growth factor receptor (rGFR) >= 70 mL/min/1.73 m^2 or a serum creatinine based on age/gender as follows:

1 to < 2 years: 0.6 (male), 0.6 (female)
2 to < 6 years: 0.8 (male), 0.8 (female)
6 to < 10 years: 1 (male), 1 (female)
10 to < 13 years: 1.2 (male), 1.2 (female)
13 to < 16 years: 1.5 (male), 1.4 (female)
>= 16 years: 1.7 (male), 1.4 (female)
Bilirubin (sum of conjugated + unconjugated) =< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for age
Serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 3 x ULN
Serum albumin >= 2 g/dL
Sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium within 1.5 x institutional lower limit of normal (LLN) or ULN
Participants must have cholesterol level < 350 mg/dL and triglycerides < 400 mg/dL before starting therapy. In case one or both of these are exceeded, the participant can only be included after initiation of appropriate lipid lowering medication and documentation of cholesterol < 350 mg/dL and triglycerides < 400mg/dl before start of therapy
Participants with seizure disorder may be enrolled if well controlled. Participants must be on non-enzyme inducing anticonvulsants which are not excluded on study therapy
Participants with neurological deficits should have deficits that are stable for a minimum of 1 week prior to registration
Corrected QT (QTc) interval =< 450 msecs
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >= 50%
Pulse oximeter (Ox) > 93% on room air

Hypertension

Participants 3-17 years of age must have a blood pressure that is =< 95th percentile for age, height, and gender at the time of registration
Participants who are >= 18 years of age must have a blood pressure that is < 140/90 mm of Hg at the time of registration
Participants must agree to use adequate contraception: The effects of trametinib and everolimus on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason, women of child-bearing potential and males of child fathering potential must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation and 4 months after completion of trametinib and everolimus administration. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately

Exclusion Criteria:

Participants without available tissue from prior surgery. (If clinical comprehensive testing has already been performed, the requirement for submission of tissue may be waived after discussion and review of results with study chairs)

Participant is receiving any of the following medications within 7 days prior to enrollment (If participants require (re)initiation of these agents after enrollment and prior to start of therapy they will not be eligible to initiate study therapy):
