How can I call the value from a Jtoken

So I have a JSON object, then I loop through all the Children and add the items to a list of JTokens. When I debug, the list contains the following : https://i.sstatic.net/uXZDI.jpg

When I show a MessageBox I get the following: https://i.sstatic.net/oUuji.jpg

The problem is, I just want the string text as: 'Volunteer'. How can I do it?

List<JToken> objecten = new List<JToken>();

JObject json = JObject.Parse(content);
foreach (JToken token in json.Children<JToken>())
{
   objecten.Add(token);
}

MessageBox.Show(objecten[1].ToString());

If I want to get the role in a string variable, I would like to do it like this but I don't know how it works:

string role = objecten.Role;

You can try with this:

JObject json = JObject.Parse(content);
foreach (KeyValuePair<string, JToken> sourcePair in json)
           {
               if (sourcePair.Key == "Role")
                    role = sourcePair.Value.ToString();
            }

With recursion you can pass through all json object without know the complete path of the attributes

You can use SelectToken wherein you can select your desire value base on their path. See this reference.

JObject json = JObject.Parse(content);    
var value = json.SelectToken("role").Value<string>();

Add a path to select role. The path will depend on your JSON structure.

Example value of content 

{
   response : {
       role : volunteer,
       success: true,
       token: eyJhbGci...
   }
}

JObject json = JObject.Parse(content);    
var value = json.SelectToken("response.role").Value<string>();
